A detailed plan of classes at home with your child. Follow the plan and get results. If you do not know a foreign language well, then your task is to pronounce keywords and sentences in a foreign language. For clarity, perform tasks together with the child at the same time, so that he will understand you better and will not need to translate what is said. At the initial stage of training, the child may not understand what you are saying to him. In this case, you can explain what was said in your native language, so that the child does not close himself in. This is absolutely normal, after a few sessions, he will definitely get used to it. To make it easier for them, do not immerse them with unnecessary information that this is a different language, that they need to learn it, and so on. Use the following example to make it easier for the child to understand: show the child a ball and ask what it is, and then tell them that people who live in other countries came up with a different name for it, they decided to call it “ball”, so to understand them, we learn these names, and they learn ours.
Part 1
P/T: “Good morning, dear! Today we are going to make a rainbow. Are you ready?
Child: ready!
P/T: “Nice! Do you know what is rainbow? Look at the picture and repeat after me: Rainbow…rainbow…it`s a rainbow.”
Show the flashcard wih the word raibow and ask to repeat after you.
P/T: “Good! Let`s learn the new words!”
You show cards with words. Holding the card, repeat every word 3 times with your child. Then ask the child to show the items shown on the cards.
P/T: “Show me sugar…Show me water…”
And the same with every word. If the child finds it difficult, show him a card with this word.
Part 2
P/T: “Now we are ready to start. Choose the colors!”
The child must choose words for the rainbow. After the selection is made, ask to name all the selected colors.
P/T: “Great! Now let`s color the water.”
Using the these colors color the water in small glasses.
P/T: “Now let`s count the glasses together. One…two…three…four…five…six.”
Count together, and then ask the child to count on their own, applying the desired number to each glass to number.
P/T: “Fantastic! Are these glasses big or small?”
Show clearly what is "big" and what is "small" so that the child can answer correctly.
P/T: “Great! Is this glass big or small?”
We clearly show the meaning and get the child's response. Then add sugar to each glass. The number of spoons corresponds to the number of the glass.
P/T: “Now, let`s add some sugar!”
P/T: “Add 1 spoon to the glass with number 1!”
After you add the sugar and stir it, your task is to pour water from small glasses to a big one, observing the order and using a syringe. The first glass is poured first, the second - second, and so on. Do it slowly and carefully, and control the child's actions.
Part 3
Sum up your lesson asking different questions:
P/T: “Do you like it? Yes or no? Answers: Yes/No
P/T: “What color is it?”
P/T: “That`s all for today. I`m proud of you!”
