Supporting Gujarati Language Learning for Children

Encouraging your child to learn Gujarati involves various aspects. Let’s explore how you can support their reading, speaking, and writing skills:

Reading:
- If your child struggles with reading, take it slow.
- Break down each phonetic sound before saying the whole word.
- Encourage them to re-read sentences or paragraphs until they feel confident.
- For unfamiliar words, provide meanings or use online Gujarati dictionaries.
Speaking and Listening:
- Encourage speaking Gujarati within the family.
- Recommended videos can improve listening and speaking skills.
- Even if some words are unfamiliar, encourage comprehension.
Writing:
- Writing enhances understanding.
- For Year 5:
  - Encourage writing in Gujarati ONLY.

Remember, fostering a love for Gujarati involves patience, practice, and cultural immersion.
