What is the role of a parent in this regard?

When we talk about education, all that we care about is what a child is going to learn, who is going to make the child learn, how the child is going to learn and many other related questions. There is no participation of the parent here at all but with the help of Online Learning Zone Primary, a parent is also able to participate along with their child. With the help of the e-learning portal, both parents and the child can work together on different activities and learn. In this way, not only the child feels his parent’s support and encouragement but also the parents are able to track the child’s progress in real-time.

Some ideas for parents to make the most of this journey:

Below mentioned are some of the tips and ideas that if a parent tries to implement on can really help their child to make the most out of this amazing portal.

• Try to read the stories together and encourage your child to tell you about the story that they’ve just read in English. In the beginning, it is highly likely that they’ll feel uncomfortable and might use many wrong words and make grammar mistakes but this is the whole point of this practice. In the start, they are going to make mistakes but eventually, they will learn from them and improve day by day. And you need to praise them no matter what to boost their confidence.
• The next tip is to watch the song videos that are on the e-learning portal and try to sing it out loudly with your child. This will help them improve their accent. Also, ask them to show you any actions that they have understood from the video. Same is the case for the chants. Listen to them together and make your child show you any action that they understood.
• The next tip is very fun-filled as it is to play the games with your child together. The games will really help your child in improving English and both you and your child can have a lot of fun playing.
• Make a routine of asking them to become your teacher for a while and teach you any word or phrase that they know. Doing this activity regularly will not only help them but also you to analyze how much they have accomplished.
• Similarly, you are also supposed to introduce English words to them. Translate the word to them and then help them memorize it. This will improve their vocabulary to a great extent.
• Keep analyzing your child while studying. Don’t let them get exhausted otherwise their interest towards learning English will go off and you don’t want that to happen. So it’s best to keep it light and informal.

Taking a good look at what the e-learning portal has to offer, one can easily analyze and give a comment that the portal is a very engaging, fun-filled and an attractive way to help a child learn English. The different activities, games, videos, stories and much more are a helpful yet fun-filled way for a child to not only learn English but also develop a great deal of interest in learning this subject. So overall, the Online Learning Zone Primary portal is a must for every primary level child.
