Support at Home

We frequently get asked by parents, "What can we do at home to help support my children with learning English?"

Great question! You play a key role in helping your children develop their English (even if you don't speak it yourself!).

• Continue to use your home language with your children.
  • Literacy and vocabulary in home language helps with learning English.
• Encourage your children to read everyday.
  • Reading and talking about books in English AND/OR your home language is great!
• Reassure your children that learning English TAKES TIME!
  • The emotional well-being of ELLs can greatly affect their progress with English.
• Check out our websites and activities pages for more ideas!
