My Favorite Things- Fun and Easy Writing Course for kids

“My favorite things” is far from your average writing course. It’s a digital course that includes cartoon animations and teaches young learners to craft paragraphs about things that they like.  The instructor, Gahmya Drummond-Bey, has taught this course live for over five years in South Korea. The same curriculum can be used for students as young as five and as old as nine because it teaches the foundation of paragraph writing.  In fact, it’s so simple, yet results producing, that many parents have admitted using it to study themselves.  This course is especially useful for children who are learning English as their second language.  

Tip: When using this course, be sure to encourage your child to interact with the teacher.  Stand up.  Answer the questions.  Read your paragraph aloud. Talk to the screen.  Enjoy the experience.  High-five your child and offer lots of praise for being active.

That’s so amazing.
