Dear Parents,
This week, I would like to share a free and reliable website that you can use at home to support your child’s English development:
British Council – LearnEnglish Kids
https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org
This website is designed especially for primary-aged children who are learning English. It includes:
-
Short stories and reading activities
-
Listening practice with songs and videos
-
Vocabulary and grammar games
-
Printable worksheets
-
Simple speaking practice activities
The website is free to use and does not require payment. Most activities can be accessed without creating an account. It is educational, child-friendly, and developed by the British Council, a trusted international organization for English learning.
How to use it effectively at home:
-
Choose one short activity (10–15 minutes) rather than long sessions.
-
Sit with your child and discuss new words.
-
Ask simple questions about what they read or watched.
-
Encourage your child to repeat new vocabulary in full sentences.
Please remember that children benefit most when screen time is supervised and balanced with other activities such as reading books and speaking practice.
Using this website regularly, even once or twice a week, can greatly improve your child’s reading, listening, vocabulary, and confidence in English.
Thank you for your continued support in helping your child grow as a confident English learner.
Kind regards,
Viviana Paez / EAL Specialist
