English for Children
Our section of English for children will be based on the learning, singing, playing and otherwise interactive activities on various more advanced websites. Here you will find advice and guidance on how to use the activities and a link to the respective website.
Because there are a multitude of online resources for teaching English to children, updating this page will be a long, arduous but fun process. Please post your comments as and when you use the materials and let us know how you find these. Share your experiences with other readers, including suggestions on other resources you know of and we could use here.
