Live 1-1 Kids Reading Classes
What is the right way of reading? Language learning is meant to happen intuitively. How did we all learn our mother tongue? We learnt it by listening to the sounds around us; sounds are then translated into words; words then are strung together to make sentences. Fundamentally it is deciphering the sounds that help us learn our mother tongue; if this is the innovative a natural way of language learning, shouldn’t we apply the same principal to teach English to our children?
At Gurukul Academy Of Excellence this is exactly what we do; our basic reading programme introduces the sounds of English through actions, songs stories and dramatization. Children are encouraged to apply that newly acquired sound knowledge to learn reading and spelling. Honing the listening skills is our first step – through listening to the sounds children learn to read and spell; in the next years they listen more to learn speaking and comprehension all of this eventually lead to structural understanding of the language and result in independent writing. Phonics is the science of learning various sounds in words and thus read and spell. Teaching English reading using Phonics requires children to learn the connections between letter patterns and the sounds they represent. The children learn how to blend the letter sounds together. Phonics helps children crack the English alphabetic code easily so they will be able to read even unknown words.
Grammar is inevitable to read, write and speak good English, but at the same time it shouldn’t become boring for the kids. Live 1-1 Kids Reading Classes make key elements of grammar interesting for the children. Be it any of the topics like tenses, prepositions, articles, nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, punctuation etc. Live 1-1 Kids Reading Classes lead the way in showing how grammar can be made fun. We use colour coding and options to help children identify the parts of speech in sentences. This also enables children to spell and punctuate more accurately, use wider vocabulary and have a clear understanding of how the language works.
