LearnEnglish Kids Newsletter

LearnEnglish Kids Newsletter September 2015 Welcome to the latest LearnEnglish Kids newsletter. BACK TO SCHOOL Many children around the world are now going back to school after a long holiday. We have lots of school activities, songs and stories for children to enjoy. Older kids can read our fun Superhero High story, set in a very unusual school, and younger ones can sing our Quiet please song to practise useful classroom language. Children can also write about their school on our School Your turn.   MOBILE-FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES Lots of activities on LearnEnglish Kids have just been updated to work on mobile devices.    Our Group the words games, Fill the gaps games, Find the definition games and Order the word games are all now mobile-friendly.    Almost all our songs and stories are ready to watch on your mobile device too, as well as our other videos. Why not try our Grammar videos, Kids news videos or Word of the week videos? We hope you enjoy them. We'll be updating more of our activities soon! NEW PRINTABLES FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS! We have just updated our flashcards with new, fun images. They can be used at home or in the classroom. We will be adding new sets of flashcards soon. Why not write and tell us what new sets you would like to see? We have also been adding printables to some of our Top tips for parents who are helping their child learn English. These can be printed out as a collection, and teachers can give them to their learners' parents for ideas. Finally, don't forget our Your turn section! Many of our Your turns have extra printable worksheets that help children learn words and write about different common topics. All our printables are free for registered users. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes.  SPECIAL DAYS September 8 is International Literacy Day. On LearnEnglish Kids, our Speak and spell section helps children discover English sounds and spellings through songs, stories and games.  Kids can also write about what they like reading on our Reading Your turn, and parents and teachers can download our free LearnEnglish Kids: Phonics Stories app for the iPad.  The International Day of Peace is on September 21. Children can go to our World Peace Day Your turn to tell us their ideas how to celebrate this special day.
