Parents and caregivers can encourage children to draw more often -  visual representations are part of the note-taking process. The children have to consolidate what they learn and represent it in a graphic form. While learning idioms and proverbs, mere rote learning is ineffective. Allow the children to make diagrams or pictures based on the meaning of idioms and proverbs. They can make a simple picture, or a more advanced comic story. 

We can also use a simple multiple choice quiz format to review the idioms and proverbs. Typically, these are fixed vocabulary phrases, hence our young learners need to become familiar with the words used. In a multiple choice quiz format, we can encourage language play - the learners often find that an error in the phrase is quite funny! Eventually they will figure out the correct answer.

This year, I have the privilege of working with an international student whose first language is not English. He is 8 years old. He has been working very hard on using phonics to read. Recently he has moved on to digraphs (2 vowel letters together). From our list of words with 'ai' and 'oa' sounds, he spun a wheel to pick 2 words. I used the 2 words to form a sentence. Then he read and drew a sketch for the sentence. Through this activity, he practised reading words with digraphs and was able to translate the text into a pictorial form, which showed reading comprehension.

There are various ways to use this activity with our learners, whether they are homeschooling or in a full school.

Teacher Libing runs phonics workshops for parents and caregivers, as well as English Language lessons for children, teens and adult learners. Math and Science (primary) lessons are by Teacher Augustine.

Thanks to the renewed excitement of international travel, we have some precious friends back in Singapore for a holiday. They have been enjoying English lessons with Teacher Libing for a few weeks.

The children are 7 and 5 years old, and they are learning together. Teacher Libing has put together various storybook units for them to keep in touch with the English Language. The younger learner is focused on phonics and reading, while the older learner is working on grammar and sentence construction. They also do some activities together, such as reading instructions for craft making and playing language games. 

Click to contact us for more details if you'd like your kids and friends to learn together this holiday. Teacher Libing is based in Bukit Panjang. Travel to your home is also possible should the schedule fit.
