Dear Parents,
As the break approaches, I want to wish you and your family a restful and enjoyable time together. Breaks are a great opportunity for children to relax, spend time with loved ones, and explore new experiences. At the same time, it’s important to help them maintain the progress they’ve made in English so that returning to school is smooth and confident.
To support your child’s English learning during the break, you can encourage activities that are both fun and educational. Simple practices like reading short stories or comics in English, listening to songs, watching age-appropriate English videos, or even playing interactive English games can keep their language skills active without feeling like formal studying. Writing a short diary entry in English about their day or favorite activities is another enjoyable way to reinforce vocabulary and sentence structure.
Finally, try to create opportunities for everyday English use at home. Labeling household items in English, having short conversations, or asking questions in English during routines like cooking or playing can strengthen their communication skills. The goal is to make learning natural and enjoyable, helping your child stay connected to English while still enjoying their well-deserved break. I hope you all have a safe, happy, and relaxing holiday!
Warm regards,
Viviana Paez / EAL specialist
