Remember, You Can Keep It Simple
Read to your children no matter their age. Keep reading aloud even when they can read well themselves. This builds new vocabulary and gives them other benefits. Here are some tips for what to do when you read aloud to younger children and older children. Here's another resource if you want even more information
 
We understand many of you do not speak the Partner Language your child is learning at AXIS. The priority is to keep the "listening" going while away, and here are some tips for that: replay the AXIS teacher-created Partner Language video lessons, listen to songs and audio books in the language, switch the DVD or Netflix video to the Partner Language, and other resources above.
