Hi, thanks for stopping by!

My name is Marilena and I have been teaching English for the last ten years. I have always loved arts and crafts and I made that essential to my lessons. Along with games and songs I try to make each lesson memorable and fun.

 

This website is all about my knowledge of the learning process, all the things I have noticed and experienced through the years. I hope this blog helps you learn easier and better.

Let the posts
come to you.

Fun Learning: The 5 Best English Educational Shows for Kids

Part of the 'Learning Easier' series

Are you looking for the best shows to help your young children learn English as a second language? Look no further! There are many great options available online to make learning English fun and engaging. Here are five of the best educational shows that your children will benefit just from watching. If you like posts like this I have a bunch of them! And I also post new ideas and tips twice a month. Enter your email in my email list so you never miss any post coming from me.


1. Miss Rachel

Does your child find it difficult to speak? I have the best solution for you. Miss Rachel is by far the best English teacher that YouTube has to offer. She is best for young learners who want to learn the correct pronunciation of English words but her videos can also work for older children 5-7 that are starting to learn English. She is also the best teacher to overcome delayed speech development. Miss Rachel is a must in my house. My 1 year old loves her videos and she has even started picking up words and phrases in English. She has shows full of songs and beautiful pictures, and they are all available for free on YouTube.

2. Alpha Blocks

Alpha Blocks (on BBC and YouTube) is a fun and educational way to learn letters and words in English. Children can follow along as they learn how to write, spell, and pronounce English words. Perfect for parents who want to double down on their children's reading and writing skills. Watch it right after your English lessons and see your child get better each week.

3. Number Blocks

Number Blocks (on YouTube) is a great way for children to learn about math, including addition, subtraction, and more, all while learning English in the process. If your child is struggling with Math at school why not combine English with Math in this fun educational show where reading and counting goes together. Perfect for those who want to combine two lessons in one.

4. StoryBots

StoryBots (on Netflix) is a show where children can learn a variety of topics, from history to relationships to emotions to science experiments. It is designed to be easy for young children to understand, while also helping them practice their English skills. It is truly one of my favourite educational shows and I constantly use their songs on YouTube in my class. It is easy to follow for those who are just learning English and fun to watch for those who already know English. I really love the children's question that get answered by the bots on each episode in the 'Answer Time' section. It's a lovely way to practice English while learning about the world.

5. It's Circle Time

It's Circle Time (on YouTube) is a great show for children to learn about shapes, animals, and more. It is perfect for lazy afternoons spent at home. Sarah and her crew spent hours teaching children everything about English in a fun and engaging way. This show is appropriate for young students from 4 to 7.

Hi Nicky ❤️ so good to see you back! I guess lots of people like to demonotize TV and only look at its negatives but if used properly it can be really beneficial. "Used properly" though is key 😊 not all of us can do it and not always

Circle time is a bit difficult for our toddler. She loves Miss Rachel but we will definitely try the others too. Lovely post.
