English for Kids?

[Kh_Global]

Hello,

Is there any tutorials, stories for kindergarten kids so that they can improve their English Speaking and Writing skills? It should help them to improve their vocabulary too.

Do let me know.

I'm not sure if you mean second language speakers who don't hear that langauge all around them, or children who now live in the area where English is spoken.

Books, stories and exercises for very young children, even if they are originally intended for use by English first language pupils could well be suitable to their needs anyway, as at this age, the stories tend to include simple vocabulary, supported by picture cues, and often include lots of repetition. Look out also for picture books with little or no text. Talking about the pictures is very important at the earlier levels.
Don't forget the power of children's educational television programmes too.

yes, you are right. Children like stories. I looking to enhance their brain fitness. I learned that till the age of 10, we can push and expand their brain as much as possible.

They are more curious to know many things.

5 Golden rules to allow a child's mind to develop:
1) Encourage them to explore. Provide rich opportunities for them to investigate the world around them.
2) Talk to them - about everything - and let them talk for themselves. Also let them sing. Don't forget to encourage them to listen too
3) Read with them - all sorts of books and materials, both fiction and non fiction. Discuss what is being read/looked at.
4) Look for opportunities to develop their understanding of mathematics in the world around them... use of number, knowledge of number patterns, measure, shape, data - and exploit those opportunities.
5) Encourage their motor skills and hand -eye coordination. Fine motor skills such as drawing, writing, painting, modelling, music-making (and appreciation thereof) and gross motor skills such as running, jumping, climbing, balancing.

This isn't an exhaustive list, just what I consider the basic five.
As I said, for young children, the materials and media (fiction and simple information books, posters, TV and radio programmes, songs, etc.) created for use by native English speakers will often suffice, because the vocabulary at that level tends to be basic anyway. The most important thing is the interaction!

I love to motivate my 9 years old daughter to speak some phrases in English. I like to call her and start basic phrases in the telephone, phrases like “How are you?” “What you gonna do ?” “What’s you name”
We live in Brazil and I think you know that in Brazil we don’t learn English in school. We have to learn with private teacher and this is too expensive.

Hi MMurdock, What you are doing is a good start. Teach her the basic language patterns and when she has an opportunity to learn more it will come to her easier.

The English learning is to good step. But if we learn much more language so we can improve and spread our thoughts.
