Why should young children learn grammar ?

  Children are experts at learning in Early Childhood.  They can learn almost anything that is offered to them in the first 3 or 4 years of life.

Learning a second language at a very young age (2 yrs.) is easy for a child.  If you can also find a way to teach very young children grammar in a playful and systematic way, then the children will easily learn the grammar.

Being able to speak a language fluently is one thing, being able to master the grammar is something very special and has enormous advantages later on in life.

  Learning grammar at a very young age helps children express themselves by using adjectives and adverbs to bring colour to their writing.  It also improves their spelling in a structured way by teaching the key rules.

  Children will be able to learn to write with accuracy and greater expression so that their writing can give real pleasure

  Their writing is easier to understand if it is grammatically correct.  This will help the child later on in life.

  Learning foreign languages becomes easier if the basics of grammar (even that of ones own native language) are understood.

  Junior English realizes these facts, and is now starting English grammar courses for young children.  The Jolly Phonics / Grammar Teaching Materials have been chosen because they teach the children in an active way that is fun for the children.  The children learn the letter sounds in a way that has been very successful in the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Hong Kong, just to name a few.
