As you prepare your child to start Kindergarten in a language immersion setting, you can help him have a successful learning experience by ensuring that:
your child has a strong foundation in his/her first language. Read to him/her, in any language. Read daily, read often.
involve your child in conversations - expose him/her to vocabulary that has to do with colors, shapes, animals, people, etc.
develop in your child a sense of excitement and wonder about the world, and especially about the great gift of learning a second language.
be ready to help your child with daily homework - basic supplies like pencils, crayons, scissors, glue, paper and a quiet place to sit down and work on it.
expose your child to as many enriching experiences as possible - trips to the zoo, the museum, the park, the theater, the library. Make sure you have conversations about the things you see and learn while going to these places.
help him/her follow a daily routine, including snacks, naps and bedtime.
There's always one...or two. When it happens, it's important to know who to talk to, what to do and how to make it stop...immediately.
