Many Children Today Are Seriously Lacking In The Use Of English
It is becoming almost the norm for our children these days to use language that we don’t understand. This is because most of them spend hours every day on social media on their mobiles or laptops chatting to friends. OK, some of us may know that “lol” means “laugh out loud” but how about JK, NVM, or ROFL?
FYI (For Your Information), those are “just kidding”, “never mind”, and “rolling on the floor laughing”. It’s a different world out there!
Many of our children are seriously lacking in the use of the English language in the way that we understand it, and equally importantly in the way that it is required in schools and to pass exams. They cannot spell, they do not understand grammar, and they cannot use punctuation in the way that it is required.
This means that if you want them to grow up and be able to converse with other people and go forward in life, and also pass those all-important exams, then they need extra tuition in the use of English, because most schools don’t have enough time to teach them all of this.
At Smart Kids Tutoring, we provide 11+ English Tuition in Oldham in order to give your child the strong foundation in our language that he or she needs. This is critical if you want your child to go to a grammar school because entrance is based on academic merit. They won’t take just anyone. So, they need to pass exams.
Tutors Work One On One
Our tutors work one on one with your child which means that they can get the attention that they need and would almost certainly not get in a state primary. We get them to practice spelling and to understand what words mean. For instance, the words “strait” and “straight” sound exactly the same yet have totally different meanings.
It is important that a child learns to use correct English because it will determine just how well he or she gets on when applying for a job. Learning spelling and punctuation is not only necessary when writing, but also when reading, because a punctuation mark in the wrong place can mean that a sentence has a different meaning from what was intended.
All of this is covered in our 11+ English Tuition in Oldham. It is designed to get a child off on the right foot and open their eyes to the wonders of our language.
