Default Re: one-on-one class help me

Wow those kids are very young! i guess that the parents want to give them a good head start!

I suggest going to some English book store and finding one of those easy prelearners books. Also you can start them on the alphabet and the song with it and then move on to some flash cards (loads of them here). It's true that you will have to play a lot and act like a kid too but I find with young kids that if you start clapping and saying something over and over that the kids will generally follow you. Just take your time, as the kid is very young and let them draw loads of pictures with the names underneath them (a drawing of a cat with "cat" written underneath it). This will make it fun for them.

I know the parents want the kids to speak, speak, speak but it's very difficult to keep them interested all the time so try and change it around to some writing and flashcards.

Best of luck!
