Kids English (Beginners)

English for children aged 5–8 who are starting from scratch (Prep to Year 2). Teacher Changchang teaches phonics, first words, classroom English, and short songs and games. No English is needed before the first lesson. Vietnamese explanations are used when a child needs them. Chinese can be used the same way if that is the home language.

What's covered

Listening

Every lesson

Children listen to short instructions, songs, and simple stories, then point, colour, or answer with a word or action.

  • Follow a classroom instruction
  • Match a word to a picture
  • Listen for a name, colour, or number
  • Join in a short song or chant

Speaking

Every lesson

Short, supported talk: greetings, naming things, and answering simple questions. The aim is clear speech, not long answers.

  • Hello, name, and age
  • Name objects in a picture
  • Say likes and dislikes with support
  • Ask a short classroom question

Phonics & reading

15–20 minutes per lesson

Letter sounds, blending simple words, and reading short captions. Useful for children in Australian Prep–Year 2 and for beginners elsewhere.

  • Letter-sound matching
  • Blend CVC words (cat, sit, hop)
  • Read a 1–2 sentence caption
  • High-frequency words (I, the, my)

Writing

Short activities

Letter formation, labelling pictures, and writing a few words or a simple sentence with help.

  • Trace and write letters
  • Label a picture
  • Copy a short sentence
  • Write 1–3 words from memory
