Easy way to Good English - Start Early

English as a first language for kids who speak their mother tongue (Not English) at home is a challenging task. The basic ground work to be done before they go to school would be

To hear a lot of spoken English

This would be easy if both the parents are fluent in English, but if you are not, then select TV shows, that are preferably cartoons, with clear diction and neutral accent for eg. Miffy, Noddy,etc. And sit with them and explain what is being spoken.

To be read to

The lesser the words the better, Bright board books are excellent. Start with very simple stories and telling them the basic rules of handling the book, then read to them with a clear expressive voice and follow the words with your fingers. Choose an quite time of the day when the child is also alert not necessarily the bed time.

To familiarize them to alphabets

Hang up an alphabet chart or get them ABCD refrigerator magnets to use. Just keeping the alphabets within their field of vision is enough to get them curious to learn the letters.

To name known objects in English

When the child knows the object in the native tongue then tell him that the English word for the object is so and so..

To sing simple English songs

Nursery rhymes are the best, they get the child to learn the tone of the language without having to analyse it.

To start having conversations in English

Start asking questions and responding in English. This is a sure way of picking up the language fast.

LKG Admissions @ SBOA School and Junior College 2012 - 2013

I'm putting my second child in SBOA this year, and the first round of admissions are in progress. My! the fees have gone up this year, but looking at the other schools, including Matric schools, SBOA has managed to keep the fees lower than the city average. The admission process was smooth and quick. We finished meeting the Principal in about 30mins from the time we got there. All that's left is, to pay the fees and start the joining formalities. I'm glad that my kid got in, as I already have another child studying in 1st Std in SBOA. She enjoys going to school. At 50 kids a class, it is a crowd but their systematic way of doing things more than makes up for it. Good luck to all those applying for admissions @ SBOA this year.

LKG Admissions @ SBOA Junior College 2014 - 2015

So the little one is ready for LKG and you are hell bent on finding the right school. Maybe you have narrowed down SBOA School and Junoir College, Anna Nagar or it is on your list of schools to consider, either ways you would need to pick up an application first. From 2012 the applications can be downloaded online and the registration fee needs to be paid at the time of submitting the application. Usually the applications are issued by the mid of January for the current year admissions. You will have at least 2 weeks to prepare your application and submit it. The documents requested to be submitted along with the application would be The birth certificate of the child (With the name entered) An Address proof (Could be the childs passport, family ration card, gas bill in the name of the father or mother, etc...) There are around 1000+ seats available, but unfortunately the demand is disproportionately high. The below website is where you...

LKG Admissions in Chennai - What should we be looking for?

Admission season is at hand, soon many schools in Chennai are going to throw their gates open to receive applications for the next academic year. Choosing a school is quite a job and sometimes with the options given it's a tough decision to make. Few of the overall criteria to consider are..... 1. Distance from the school - Anything more than the recommended 5km radius is too much of a strain on the kids. 2. Mode of transport - School buses are as vital as good infrastructure in picking a school. If you cant walk to school then the most sensible option would be to use the school bus. So do check if this facility is available and adequate. 3. Board and Curriculum - In Chennai there were a few different boards till most of them were consolidated into "Samacheer Kalvi Thitam". Right now generally the question is between CBSE and The State Prescribed Board. Each has it's advan...
