Questions

Class 5 English: parents often ask

My own English is weak. How can I help?

Use the Hindi meanings to explain each new word, then say the English word together. Ask the questions in any language. Your time matters more than your English.

How much time should my child spend?

Start with 15 minutes a day. A short time every day works better than a long time once a week.
