HomeAgain Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I think I would recommend the stories that are short and easy to follow: The Cat In The Hat and Green Eggs And Ham are by Dr. Seuss. They each use a handful of words (250+ and 50, respectively) to tell a story. Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown (vocabulary: everyday objects) The Very Hungry Caterpillar (vocabulary: numbers, food) Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? (vocabulary (animals, colors) Z Is For Moose (vocabulary: alphabet) Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (vocabulary (alphabet names) Some of them have unit studies available at Homeschool Share that are free to print, so you can give them something to do with the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohdanigirl Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi, how are you? I would also try audio books, both for yourself and your children. For you I would try to.listen to a book while also following the text. I deus that when I was trying to improve my Spanish. I also watched one novel a, beginning to end. Each time I would puck one from different countries (Colombia, Mexico, Peru) to help understand the accents. I did have some back ground, as my mother is Mexican, but my Spanish was limited. I am now fluent and can read and write Spanish as well. Good luck to you. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Por exemplo, se sabe vocabulário durante dos tempos de comer, fala inglês durante o almoço. Os livros são bons para introduzir vocabulário. Também se tem acesso a videos ou programas para meninos em inglês, pode ser escutado inglês em contexto de vários situações, e com vários acentos. Se tem perguntas, seja livre a comunicar comigo. Eu ajudo famÃlias que estan ensinando seus filhos outros idiomas. Somos uma famÃlia bilingüe inglês-espanhol, e aprendendo chinês. É uma grande aventura. Faz favor, perdão este tradução. Estou usando um tradutor de espanhol a português brazileño. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyknights Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The are some English learning materials that you can find online. Kids are fast learner, you can let her watch English movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorix Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Audio books are a great way to learn and read with the kids. Another great thing is even with shows you can change the setting to English to help train their ears. Kids pick up a second language quickly with the right environment but don't put too much pressure! They will eventually pick it up in time. Also work with learning the phonic sounds to help her build up some reading skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
