Would you like your child to become more comfortable hearing and using Dutch in a playful environment?
Your child may be ready for this level if:
- They are around 5-6 years old and are new to Dutch, or only know a few Dutch words.
- They cannot read yet in their own language.
- They are ready to hear Dutch in class with lots of support from pictures, gestures, songs, repetition, and body language.
- They enjoy learning through play, movement, stories, drawing, crafts, and games.
During this course, your child will work towards:
- Becoming comfortable in a classroom where Dutch is the main language used, and starting to understand classroom instructions and use simple greetings and classroom words.
- Learning to say simple things about themselves, such as their name, age, family, favorite things, and how they feel.
- Building a basic Dutch vocabulary through themes such as family, colors, counting, seasons, weather, animals, home, celebrations, food, and everyday life, while practising by naming objects and answering easy questions.
- Listening to Dutch songs and short clips to help introduce and practise new vocabulary.
- Becoming familiar with Dutch sounds, letters, and words through playful listening, repeating, matching, and movement activities.
- Listening to around 8-10 simple Dutch texts based on the themes across the 3 terms, mainly through interactive teacher read-alouds.
- Learning through a mix of games, drawing, crafts, and playful speaking activities.
