Step 1
FLASHCARDS - Buy 3 x 5 index cards and use a black marker to make your own flashcards. Make cards for every item in your house including walls, doors, chairs, etc. Attach the flashcards to the item they name with a light weight tape that is easy to remove. You can also use a post it style note. Label everything so that your child can see the name and spelling for every item.

Step 2
TELEVISION - Have your child watch their favorite television shows in English. Shows for younger children are even better because they focus on learning language. Preschool and toddler shows are perfect for helping to learn English and increase their vocabulary. Older children may be interested in and can follow along with soap operas which are also great for teaching a new language because they speak slower.

Step 3
PLAY WORD GAMES - Play different word games with your children. They will think they are just having fun, but really they are increasing their vocabulary. Play games such as I spy. Switch roles so that sometimes your child is giving the descriptive words and sometimes they are trying to understand the descriptive words.
Now you know how to teach your child English, get started today.
