TeLL me More Kids: Progressive Learning
Whether you are in the Games, Karaoke, or Cartoons, you can learn English progressively and at your own
pace.
Follow the course that TeLL me More Kids suggests:
Mode 1: Immersion Mode
- where you do the listening
Mode 2: Comprehension Mode
- where you will learn to understand what is said or written
Mode 3: Expression Mode
- where it’s your turn to speak
You can do each of the activities in all three modes.
Immediately after each activity, you can find out your score by looking at:
the flower in TeLL me More Kids / Around the House
the clown in TeLL me More Kids / Around the City
the squirrel in TeLL me More Kids / Around the World
The higher your score, the higher the flower, clown, and squirrel climb.
A word of advice: it’s best to learn English step by step! Begin with Mode 1 and finish with Mode 3.
