Scenario Response 4 (ELL support at home)
Some simple ways parents can support their child's language development at home, even if they don’t speak much English:
Read Together: Encourage reading books in their native language to build vocabulary and comprehension.
Label Items: Suggest labeling household items in both their language and English to help with word recognition.
Use Picture Books: Recommend picture books for discussing illustrations and storytelling to promote language skills.
Play Games: Introduce word games like "I Spy" that can be played in any language.
Watch Educational Videos: Suggest watching educational videos in English with subtitles in their language for listening practice.
These strategies can create a supportive learning environment at home.
