Proven methods for keeping young learners focused behind a screen and boosting interaction throughout your sessions.

Holding the attention of a six-year-old through a screen is an art. These seven techniques will keep every session full of energy.

1) Use TPR (Total Physical Response) to turn words into movement. 2) Give reward stars constantly for instant feedback.

3) Change your tone and pace every 30 seconds. 4) Use puppets and colorful props. 5) Keep instructions extremely short.

6) Drop in 1-minute games between activities. 7) End every class with a personalized cheer for the child.

Practice these in a few classes and you'll see parent ratings and Turglish performance scores climb fast.
