Many Parents ask what they can do to improve their child’s English competency level .
Here are some ideas that have been proven most effective.
- Immerse your child in as much English as possible.The more they are exposed in the language , the more fluent they will become.
- Have them read and listen to audio books.
- When listening to audio books, children should also read what they are hearing. Audio books help their pronunciation and listening skills.

- Make English fun. A fun website is : Games for English: www.eslgamesplus.com
