After getting comfortable doing English teaching at Universities in China, I got persuaded to try teaching little kids. I discovered it's a completely different ball game.

I looked all over the internet for ways to teach English to little kids. Couldn't find too much useful stuff.

For a lot of reasons, little kid are difficult to learn. What I was surprised at most, was how they recite lists of words easily and correctly, but have lots of trouble reciting new (even very short) sentences.

Any ideas?
