5 ways to help your child speak English at home

You do not need perfect English to help your child. You just need a little time and a lot of encouragement.

Our top five tips

• Pick one English moment a day, such as dinner or the car journey.
• Ask your child to teach you three new words each week.
• Praise the effort, not just the accuracy.
• Let them watch or listen to British English they enjoy.
• Record a short clip once a week and listen back together.

Keep it fun

Ten happy minutes beat an hour of pressure. Celebrate every small win.
