www.knowingandgrowing.com – The innovative Magical Nature Alphabet program encourages early language and speech development for baby or young children through a combination of lip-reading, phonics and letter/word recognition. Children first learn to form their speech not just by listening, but also visually through lipreading. That is why this educational program uses a unique onscreen talking mouth feature.

Learning a second language before the age of 7 can be very confusing for a child. There are two totally different sets of phonics rules. Children who learn two languages at the same time(their own and another) before the age of 7 generally have problems.
Unless you speak two languages fluently often in your home, your child will definitely learn more at school where they will be immersed in the language. Being immersed in two languages at a young age is an excellent opportunity for students. Bilingualism is a great skill and should be encouraged in students. What a parent would want to check into is that the child’s teaching is not focusing on a single language. Rather, they are fostering the native language as well as encouraging the second language.
Interacting with people that speak a different language is becoming more common as immigration increases. The skills necessary to confidently communicate with someone that speaks a different language are very important to develop early. There are many adults that might feel intimidated to speak to someone that is not familiar with their language.
A child that has the opportunity to learn a second language is greatly blessed, but it is important that teachers are well trained in teaching students a second language.
it’s a fun activity at this age
they do it with their friends, so it’s inclusive
lots of school are offering these types of activities now
+ they’re not so much Teaching The Children …another language….
as ‘having fun’ while learning another language ( a totally different concept)
I’d say go for it!
I think it can be awesome, kids pick up languages so quick especially before they are 7 and it’s a great skill to have. Just as long as its done in a developmentally appropriate, fun way
As far as at home, if your bilingual and you speak both that can be good, but if your childs school offers say, Spanish, then that can be great for them to learn it with their peers. Kids learn a lot from each other.
For the poster who said it causes confusion…not so much. It can for a period of time (like around 2 or 3) when the child is using both languages but for the most part they grow out of it and its no big deal. For example, I had a 2 year old child in one of my classes who spoke Hebrew at home with his parents and English at school and by the end of the year who was almost fluent in both, and he knew that he had to speak English at school for those teachers who did not speak Hebrew. I ran into similar situations with other students as well. As long as they have understanding teachers, and into primary school if needed they have some extra help with an ESL teacher they will be fine and come out of it being fluent in 2 languages. That’s a great skill to have these days, it’s so much harder to learn languages when you are older.
