~Don't just stop at car and bus! Besty's way of spreading the word~
"I've learned car, bus, and train, but I get stuck on the names..."
To answer this concern, we will provide you with 4 steps to help you improve your English speaking ability using ``vehicle vocabulary''!
STEP 1 | First, a word: Link it to a vehicle you've seen before.
Input vehicles that you often see in cities and picture books, such as cars, buses, trains, and airplanes!
Have fun using miniature cars, picture books, and vehicle encyclopedias, pointing and saying, "This is a car! This is a bus!"
🌱Bestie's Points🌱
Don't let it be just a matter of knowing!
Because it is a "real thing" that children love, if you stop at STEP 1, you will end up "just knowing" it..
Use sentences such as "It's a red car!" and "The train is fast!" to set the tone.
STEP 2 | Visualize it by linking it to sound and movement“
Vehicles go great with onomatopoeia!
・car → vroom vroom!
・train → choo choo!
・plane → zoom!
・bike → ring ring!
By imitating sounds while moving, "movement x sound x words" become one image!
🌱Bestie's Points🌱
By imitating while using your right brain to sense the sounds and movements, you will naturally pick up the rhythm of English!
We recommend pretend play and live broadcasting ♪
STEP 3 | Speaking in phrases: Where to? How? With whom?
・Let's go by bus!
・I'm driving a car.
・The train is coming!
・I want to fly in an airplane. By talking about transportation in conjunction with travel, destinations, and feelings, the vehicle becomes an "everyday story."
🌱Bestie's Points🌱
By turning it into a phrase, you can also express your purpose and feelings!
Vehicles are not just a means of transportation, but also a gateway to conversations such as "Where are we going?" and "Who are we going with?"
STEP 4 | Expand to conversation and pretend play: Develop speaking skills through role-playing, guidance, and choice!
・Let's play bus driver!
・All aboard!
・Do you want to go by bike or car?
・Let's take the train to Grandma's house!
This is a great opportunity to communicate destinations and goals in English by playing pretend drives, trains, airports, and more!
🌱Bestie's Points🌱
When you incorporate English into play activities where children "act as" and "make their own decisions," they are more likely to speak on their own.
"Movement" is a great starting point for conversation. Let's use it as much as we can during play♪
Summary: Vehicles can be the catalyst for getting words moving!
The rides are a treasure trove of English, filled with sounds, movements, and stories.
Don't just stop at words, but continue to incorporate them into play and conversation.
When you go out somewhere today,
“Let's start with the words, "Let's go by car!"
This will greatly expand your child's world of English.
