    🌰How do I teach English words when I don't know what they mean ? 🌰.

    When a child becomes familiar with English print and can read two or three words in chunks, he or she will lose resistance to English and will be able to read a variety of books.
    The child should be able to read English text smoothly first, so understanding the content comes later. Then you may come across unfamiliar words.
    If you come across a word you don't know the meaning of, use a "thesaurus" or "synonym".
    A child cannot understand the meaning of a word by looking at the definition in an "English-English dictionary.
    But a thesaurus can help them find familiar words.
    If your child asks you "what does it mean ??", have him look it up in a thesaurus before teaching the Japanese translation.
    Then ask, "What do you think it means ?? Most of the time, they understand the correct meaning.
    The principle is to understand English in English.

    At TLC for Kids, we teach your child "Reading Fluency ( Japanese/English fluency ).

    🥭Bilingual education after age 7 How can I read Harry Potter ? 🥭

    The goal of learning English is to be able to read English books.
    The goal level of English is to be able to "slurrily" read an American 4th grade level book.
    The target reading speed is 120 words per minute. This is the average speed of a 4th grade American student reading aloud.
    * By the way, Harry Potter and Secreter's Stone has a total word count of 76944 words; if you read aloud at 120 words per minute, you will complete the book in … 10 hours and 41 minutes !
    The "right order" is important to acquire English reading skills. The correct order is important to acquire English reading skills.
    "1 ) Learn correct pronunciation with phonics
    2 ) Read frequent words at a glance with Sight Words
    3 ) Read many easy books to acquire fluency "
    English education The key to success is to accumulate successful experiences of "can do !" and "can read !". !
    It is more effective to let students experience the joy of "being able to speak" and "reading" English than to understand the content.

    🥝Bilingual education after age 7 How many minutes of daily reading is enough to learn English ? 🥝

    If you can read a book in English, you will have acquired all the skills of English.
    The goal is 100 short books called Reader !
    Most Reader books are 1500-2000 words.
    The reading speed of an American 2nd grader is 90 words per minute.
    Since one Reader is 1500-2000 words, dividing by 90 words, it is calculated that one Reader can be read in about 20 minutes every day.
    If one book is read every day, it will take 100 days; if one book is read in two days, it will take 200 days.
    The cause of failure in teaching children to read is giving them books that are too difficult.
    Be careful not to give them books that are too difficult ( or too long )!

    🍑Bilingual education from age 3 What does it mean to be able to read English fluently ? 🍑.

    The condition of being able to read English fluently and smoothly is called fluency.
    The standard for determining whether or not a child has developed fluency is reading speed.
    Native English speakers should be able to "accurately read aloud" 30-60 words per minute in first grade and 60-90 words per minute in second grade.
    <学年別、1分間に音読できる単語数の目安 >
    1st grade 53 words
    2nd grade 89 words
    3rd grade 107 words
    4th grade 123 words
    5th grade 139 words
    6th grade 150 words
    College students 280-480 words ( Silent reading
    "Reading fluently rather than comprehending" should be a priority in the process of a child acquiring fluency.
    Requiring a child to "comprehend" a book at the beginning of reading will always result in slower reading speed.
    Instead of deepening their understanding, they will forget the content of the book as soon as they finish reading it, and when they are done reading, they will be stuck in a vicious cycle of not knowing exactly what they have read.
    Until they learn to read well, let them concentrate on "reading fluently.

    🍒Bilingual education from age 3 How can we help our children learn English ? 🍒.

    The secret to raising children to be good at English is to distinguish between "speaking ability" and "reading ability.
    ●English speaking ability is nurtured through "environment"
    The more opportunities a child has to be immersed in a complete English environment and communicate in English, the more "speaking ability" he/she will acquire in a short time.
    ● English reading ability grows through independent study
    It is the child's own efforts that develop English "reading ability".
    Unless children themselves engage in reading training diligently, their "reading ability" in English will not take root.
    The most reliable way to teach reading skills is to teach them in the order of phonics → sight words !
    TLC for Kids uses a reading skills curriculum. All the knowledge and skills necessary for reading skills are packed into our classes! !

    🍉Bilingual education after age 7 How much reading is enough to learn English ? 🍉.

    As a rule of thumb, you need to read 100 easy books to be able to read English books without stress.
    60-70% content comprehension is sufficient. The key is to read a lot anyway.
    If you read a lot to eliminate resistance to print and teach them to read English fluently, their English ability will improve quickly !
    Start with books with simple words and a small number of words. ( To give them confidence that they can read ! )
    Specifically, a 32-page book called a "Reader" with 500-2000 words or less.
    Readers such as Oxford Reading Tree, I can read, Step into Reading, Ready to Read, etc. are recommended as a gateway to reading more.
    Some people think that 100 books means you have to buy new books one after another ! but you can have your child read the same book many times as long as he/she likes it.
    Each time you read the same book, count it as one book.

    🍋 Bilingual education from age 1.5 How English is taught in the U.S. ? 🍋

    The United States, a country of immigrants, provides excellent English language support for children whose native language is not English.
    The goal of the support program is to develop English language skills in a short period of time to a level that will allow students to keep up with their classes.
    To achieve this, the support program concentrates on teaching "reading skills".
    This is because the process of teaching reading helps students to develop their English listening, speaking, vocabulary, and writing skills.
    The ELL program divides students' reading skills into the following categories and teaches them according to their level.
    The gateway to teaching reading is Phonics and Sight Words.
    Once students learn phonics, they will be able to read most words "with correct pronunciation". At the same time, you will acquire a lot of vocabulary.
    Phonics and Sight Words are essential efforts in learning to read, so teach them patiently.

    🍐Bilingual education from age 1.5 Can you learn English if you live in a foreign country ? 🍐.

    Can I learn English by living in a foreign country ?
    The answer is "yes and no"
    There are two types of English: living English and learning English.
    English for everyday life is the ability to speak English in everyday situations, which most children can acquire naturally after attending an American school ~ for two ( three years in a completely English-speaking environment ).
    Learning English proficiency, on the other hand, is the English language skills required for learning subjects such as Japanese ( English ), social studies, science, and math, which require higher-order cognition and thinking, including reading, writing, reading comprehension, logical thinking, and composition skills. Learning English skills do not come naturally from attending school. It is acquired through school lessons, support at home, and most importantly, through the efforts of the students themselves.
    The key to acquiring learning English is to have the children persevere in reading from kinder to early elementary school.
    At home, students should make reading a daily routine of 30 minutes. Let them "read aloud" until they are able to read smoothly. The important thing is that the child not read alone, but that the parents follow along. Parents should be involved in their child's reading as if they are practicing reading in English with the child.

    🍈Bilingual education from age 3: "Songs" are super important for English acquisition🍈.

    TLC for Kids uses "songs" to teach children to read and write English. Singing is the easiest way for children to learn.
    Even children who say, "I just came to America, so I don't feel comfortable speaking English," sing loudly and cheerfully when they hear English songs.
    Even children who are afraid that they will be ridiculed for mispronouncing English can sing loudly and confidently when they sing.
    English is a tool for communication. The most important parts are the ears and the mouth. Repeating the English you hear with your mouth is the "royal road to English acquisition.
    The beginning of English education is for children to vocalize English out loud. As the child utters English, his confidence grows and his English improves.
    When children are familiarized with English sounds, rhythms and accents, and English songs are incorporated into the lessons, they absorb English at a tremendous rate.
    This is why children who attend TLC are able to read English in a very short time.

    🐔 For Moms and Dads who are trying their best in the U.S. A few tips for bilingual education 🐔.

    Moms and dads who gave birth in the U.S., or who came to the U.S. for work, etc.
    We often think about our children's education every day 😫
    It is often said that "more important than English is to develop Japanese as the foundation for thinking" … But what is actually happening?
    In a completely English-speaking environment in the U.S., children's Japanese language development tends to lag behind.
    But "naturally bilingual" may be a bit naive 😨
    The secret of bilingual education is to first nurture Japanese well before the age of six 💪
    Reading to children in Japanese is the best way to develop vocabulary, thinking and understanding skills 📚
    It is important to teach both Japanese and English without mixing them up. Fill your child's "language cup" with a clean distinction 💞
    Instead of teaching "This is an apple" by mixing the two, input the words "This is an apple" in Japanese and "This is an apple" in English.
    Finally, your child will be able to speak both Japanese and English at will … 😍
    Until that day, remember to value the foundation of the mother tongue and teach English only in English. Let's work together👍

    At TLC for Kids, we not only offer regular lessons, but also home study methods and habits, plans for advanced Japanese language acquisition for children who are permanent residents, step-by-step English proficiency methods while in the US, and even English strategies after returning home. We will advise you on how to plan for your child's advanced Japanese language skills while in the U.S. and English language strategies after you return home.

    🐏Lives in the U.S. My child does not speak English 😨 English is weak and I worry... 🐏

    "Are you worried that your child will not speak any English when he/she enters preschool or local elementary school"
    In fact, children "don't want to speak", not that they can't speak.
    Children whose parents are Japanese, even if born and raised in the U.S., develop English conversation skills later than native English speakers.
    However, when children begin preschool, the majority of their lives are spent in an English environment.
    English conversation skills are developing very naturally 👶👧
    But if I may speak for the child, "I don't want to speak funny English and be ridiculed by my friends" 🫨
    Children are just as afraid of making mistakes in English as adults are 😟
    Let's take the long view without putting pressure on them😊💞

    At TLC for Kids, our lessons are based on building on successes.
    This leads to further "motivation to learn", "confidence", and "independence" 👍

    Children can learn English while having fun and feel safe to increase their learning effectiveness ✏ ️

    🐍I plan to live permanently in the U.S. My child needs to learn Japanese ? Where is my goal for Japanese ? 🐍.

    plays an important role in cultural identity and human development. 🇯🇵💞🇺🇸

    🐯 How to get your child in the habit of learning English / Japanese ? 🐯

    Children who succeed academically are, without exception, those who have developed the ability to learn on their own ・
    Parents who complain about mistakes will have the opposite effect, as the child will lose interest in learning
    ( Depending on the age of the child, ) preschoolers should be allowed to work on printouts, etc. for no longer than 20 minutes a day. For preschoolers, the maximum amount of time should be limited to 20 minutes a day.
    The key to making children do well is not to leave them to do it 👩👦👨
    When children cannot do well or do not understand, support them by giving them hints ✏ ️
    It is not good to let children do print for a long time.
    The most important thing is to give your child a hug and acknowledge "good job" when he/she does something ☺ ️😍
    Children's "desire to learn" grows when they are praised by their parents. Don't forget to say "wow, you did great ! !" 🎵

    🐮 Adults vs. Children How to Learn English Differently ? The Secret to Success in Teaching Children English 🐮.

    🐭Living in the U.S.A. [At what age should English be started ? ] 🐭Families whose mother tongue is Japanese must visit 🐭

    Living in an English speaking country, are you worried about your child not being able to speak English ? 😨
    Do you ever wonder at what age they should start English ? 🫤
    English should ideally start before they go to Kinder ( local school ) 👍
    because it is better to take into account the optimal age for learning a second language as well as their mother tongue The reason is that it is better to consider the appropriate age for learning the mother tongue and the second language 🧐
    It is recommended to learn Japanese well until the age of 3 and start English after 3 😊
    English skills can be acquired at the age of 5 or 4 without more effort than at 6 years old. However, it is not recommended to start learning English at the age of 3 or later.
    However, be aware of the weak point that you will "lose it if you don't use it" ( English conversation ) in daily life 😱
    Focus on learning to "read" English as well as conversation 💪🔥
