Recently I started tutoring kids English. They are beginners at K1. I taught them, “ What’s your nam? My name is….” They named their toy elephants with their imagination before going to bed. I taught them, “ I love you”. I realized that I had to break the words into chunks  like “ I “ and “ I love” and “ l love you” do that they got it little by little. I used to teach elementary pupils, so I was a bit surprised that building phonemic awareness with little kids is hard… However, I am happy that I apply my profession to make friends with the young kids!
