★ Tips for practicing Japanese at home with your child! 

-Review and practice the vocabulary/sentences/hiragana sheets from the class with your child. If you have a question about the handouts, you can always call or email us.  We'll be glad to answer any questions you may have!

-Let your child listen to the CD's that we provide as often as you can! (at home or in a car.)  The best way to learn new words is by listening to music and singing. There will be song numbers to practice on the "Japanese Practice Chart".

-Please fill out the "practice chart" regularly so it will be clear to you and your children how much they have practiced. It will also to help manage their  study each week. Your children will feel confident and proud of themselves when they complete their practice charts!
(There will be a small prize for students who complete their practice charts ; )

-Let your child watch Japanese Kids DVD's. 
There are over a hundred Kids DVD and VHS titles available at Sora. (FREE rentals!) 
Please make the most of this opportunity to enhance your child's interest in Japanese!
