❓ FAQ

Do I have to memorize the alphabet?
It is best to expose them naturally through alphabet songs. Instead of forcing them to memorize it, please create an environment where they see it frequently.
I'm not confident that I can teach you the correct English pronunciation.
There are many videos on YouTube with word pronunciations, so please watch them together and let them hear the pronunciation. It is okay if your English skills are not perfect.
When is the best time to start phonics?
It is suitable for children around 6 to 7 years old who have mastered the alphabet to some extent. Learning pronunciation rules with pictures is more effective than simple rote memorization.
Can seniors also learn English anew?
Of course. Tracing the alphabet is a great activity that stimulates both the left and right hemispheres of the brain simultaneously, and it is effective for hand movement and cognitive stimulation for seniors. Please proceed slowly, one letter at a time, without feeling pressured.

🌿 Please also use this for cognitive activities for the elderly.

Tracing the English alphabet is beneficial for seniors' hand exercises and provides new stimulation. Tracing unfamiliar letter shapes can stimulate different areas of the brain and helps exercise the fine motor skills of the fingers. We recommend proceeding slowly, one letter at a time, without feeling pressured.

Start by using large fonts and simple designs, and work consistently every day with manageable amounts. It can also be used as material for spending quality time with children at welfare centers or nursing homes.
