Kids ESL: Best Websites for Teaching Children

ESL Kids and Technology

Teaching ESL to kids can be tiring. Kids don’t usually want to study grammar– they want to play games and draw pictures! A good ESL teacher knows how to analyze each child’s strengths, weaknesses, and interests to find a learning style that works for them. Games and pictures can (and should) be used, but only when they are used the right way– as a learning tool. 
The following kids ESL websites are each very good quality for teaching ESL to kids. Some have printable materials, while others offer ideas and advice for interacting with kids.
