Is Your Child Ready for Back to School?
Back to school is not only about buying uniforms, books and stationery. The real question is: Is your child ready for back to school? Can your child understand English instructions, answer classroom questions, read simple words, write short sentences and participate with confidence?
Many children start the academic year with hidden English gaps. They may know some vocabulary, but they hesitate when speaking. They may memorize words, but struggle to read new ones. They may understand the teacher, but feel too shy to answer. That is why preparing your child before school starts can make the first weeks easier, calmer and more successful.
Before the first school day check your child’s English level
Book a level assessment and find out if your child needs support in speaking, phonics, reading, writing or school admission preparation.

- Practice daily classroom questions and short answers.
- Support reading through phonics and sound blending.
- Encourage sentence writing without making the child fear mistakes.
