Subject: my 4 1/2 year old son and English
Shalom all,
I need some advice regarding my son and English. I would rather not go into
specifics of my personal life but suffice to say my son is not progressing
as well in English as I would like. He is extremely bright and intelligent
and his Hebrew comprehension and communication skills are exceptional.
However he does not speak English. He understands 110% and knows many words
but has difficulty stringing them together in sentences. I speak to him 95%
of the time in English and his mother reinforces it when I am away. Any
suggestions on what methods I can use to get him to develop his grammar and
vocabulary so he responds more in English rather than answering my in Hebrew
or using on selective words? As an example he told me the other day," Abba
ani meod exhausted," and then continued in Hebrew. This is frustrating for
an English teacher. I would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks and Shavua Tov.
Daniel
