HK KIDZ English Courses

HK KIDZ English Courses

Children are blessed with the amazing ability to acquire languages easily from a very young age. With professional, caring tutoring, an inspiring learning environment and appropriate opportunities to live the language, learning becomes a natural and rewarding experience.

It has long been recognised that young children make more rapid progress when they enjoy what they are doing: all our workshops and courses use specifically designed books and materials, fun-filled activities, rhymes, songs, stories, puppets, pretend-play toys, language development games, audio visual aids and multimedia tools to engage your child and promote interaction and communication.

Young children learn to communicate by listening and speaking: all our workshops and courses are oral and conversation-based, with an emphasis on the spoken language to encourage your child to speak as much as possible and become actively involved in each lesson.

At HK Kidz we strive to provide your child with the best education experience as possible.

We offer a variety of courses in English to suit all levels, needs, and objectives:

Phonics is proven to provide a unique and thorough foundation for spelling and writing. It equips children to learn to read and write more effectively.

By learning phonics, your child will:

  • find it easier to tackle the pronunciation of new words by learning to build them up as a blend of several sounds;
  • gain confidence in reading, which in turn will greatly enhance his/her reading ability and foster a true love of reading;
  • have a greater chance of being able to work out how to spell any new word, even if he/she has never seen or heard that word before;
  • be able to read approximately 90% of the words of the English language.

Using the renowned 'Jolly Phonics' programme, your child will learn the 42 principal sounds of English in a fun, multi-sensory and active way, making each sound far easier to remember. This will give your child a far greater chance to read more fluently from an earlier age.

Learning how to speak, spell, read and write English has never been so much fun!
