Gallopade International | Way to Go Amigo Press Release
“Way to Go Amigo!” English for Kids
PEACHTREE CITY, GEORGIA—Gallopade International, an educational publisher based in Peachtree City, Georgia is proud to announce a new language book for children of all ages. Learning a language will never be this fun or easy again!
“Way to Go Amigo!” English for Kids is perfect for the child who has been thrust into an English-speaking situation and needs to learn quickly. It is great for ESL (English as a Second Language) students of ANY age and was produced in response to specific requests from teachers.
“My goal with this book is simple and practical,” explains the author. “If a teacher speaks English and a student speaks Spanish, I wanted them to have a simple, quick tool with which to communicate basic words needed to get to school, make the school day less stressful, and make sense of the things happening around them. I can easily see an English-speaking child using the book with a fellow student to help them get through the day. Isn’t that basic, need-to-know, one everyday word or phrase at a time how we all learn a new language?”
According to Sherry Moss, Vice President of New Product Development, “We saw a great need for this book. It might be a teacher in Kansas or Connecticut—really anywhere in the U.S.—with one student or a classroom full of kids coming to school from a home where Spanish-only is spoken. The hundred or so words and phrases featured in this book will help any teacher help a child instantly and that means it’s easy, fun and effective. That translates into less stress for child and teacher, as well as immediate logical stepping stones to learning basic classroom survival English, and that’s a good thing for everyone involved.”
English for Kids joins other language books in the Little Linguists series including Chinese, French, German, Greek, Latin, Japanese, Russian or Spanish. Inside these wonderful books you will find history, trivia, humor and more! With the greatly increased need for translators in every language and the continued globalization of world markets and cultures, these books give kids an understanding and appreciation that will be valuable to them for a lifetime.
A child can get excited about learning another language, common words or phrases. The Certificate of Achievement that is included is a confidence booster for children when they complete the book. The format with a combination of information and activities reinforces learning and the humor makes it fun. By starting now, you can unleash your child’s natural gift for learning a foreign language. It is important to know that children who begin learning a language at an early age improve overall school performance.
“My children in the classroom and at home were tickled to discover how many foreign language words they already knew. This gave them motivation and confidence to learn more.” —teacher/parent
