Dear Families,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learning English doesn\u2019t have to feel like homework. Children are often more motivated when they play, move, and have fun while learning. Turning everyday activities into simple games can help your child practice English without stress, while also building confidence and enjoyment.<\/p>\n

      Lay the cards face down and take turns turning over two at a time. If the word and picture match, your child keeps the pair.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
