I'm helping an eight-year-old Russian girl with basic English language skills. She seems to be adapting to English very well. However, she has trouble with spelling.

She is not in any way a typical ESL/EFL student. She doesn't have grammar questions or questions about anything. She's learning English in a communicative way only.

She speaks English very well. She has some difficulty with the past and articles. I'm sure she'll adapt and have no problem as she progresses. She attends school.

Besides the spelling, any suggestions or ideas anyone might have for this situation would be appreciated as well. This is the first time I've tutored someone that young.

Thanks,

:D

Phonics is the way to go. There are various resources online. :D Try an on-line search under phonics ESL.

All the best, :D
