English courses for children aged 6-7
Why we start teaching English at ages 6-7
Our English programme for ages 6–7 builds strong speaking and reading skills in a fun, engaging way. Curious and motivated at this stage, children gain confidence, strengthen memory and improve focus.
Why 6-7 is a great age to start English
Strong visual and auditory memory development
Ready for phonics and beginning reading
Natural creativity supports conversation practice
Foundation for academic English success
Early bilingualism is associated with developmental advantages in non-verbal tasks requiring cognitive flexibility.
How we teach children aged 6-7
Phonics-based reading
We teach children to read using systematic phonics — connecting letters to sounds and blending them into words to build independent reading.
Language immersion
Our certified teachers speak only English during lessons, but children understand through visual aids, props, demonstrations and games. This mirrors how children learn their first language.
Communicative approach
Every lesson includes real conversations. Teachers ask open-ended questions, encourage storytelling, and create situations where children must use English to communicate their ideas.
Friendly teachers
Lessons take place in a secure, colourful virtual classroom with a native-speaking teacher who guides children with attention and patience, ensuring every child feels comfortable and engaged.
In our 6-7 year-old classes, we emphasize regular small-group speaking and listening so early learners feel confident and can build a strong English foundation; they’ll carry this into all school subjects.

We have been taking Novakids online classes for a long time, and my child is still always enthusiastic every time he takes a lesson. Behind that, the Novakid team is very helpful and provides a quick response if there are difficulties in scheduling or if there is an error in the connection. So you don't need to hesitate anymore to register your child at Novakid.
Thanks to the teacher for his hard work, he allowed Rita to slowly form the list into sentences and led Rita to read it step by step. Mom really feels that Rita has made a lot of progress. Thank you, teacher. Rita begins to look forward to the arrival of the next class
We booked a free class for my daughter who's so shy and less interactive in her class, the teacher was so friendly and could made her interact so easly, we were so happy to see her speaking, understanding and even answering questions!? Great job she did, we decided to make her join Nova kids without hisitation.
After trying many English learning platforms, Novakid is definitely one of the best! It’s interesting and interactive. The teachers are professional and passionate. The materials are well-designed and fun! We even tried the small International group and learned with other kids, which was an amazing way to learn English. My daughter really enjoys taking classes with Novakid!
Novakid is an excellent online school for learning English. My daughter has started learning English at age of 4 with Novakid. It has been 3.5 years of learning. She can express herself more with English during lessons. I hope she can gain more confidence by speaking more. Thank you!
My children love Novakid! Not only do they have lessons with teachers but also there are many games where they can practise English whenever they want. They play games, watch videos, have lessons... The lessons are recorded, so we can also watch the lessons' videos whenever we want and that way practise more without extra cost.

Questions and answers
My child is just learning to read in their native language. Is English too much?
Not at all! Research shows children can develop literacy in multiple languages simultaneously. Learning English phonics can even help native language reading skills.
Does my child need to know how to read already?
No! English courses for children aged 6 are designed for beginning readers. We start with basic phonics and gradually build reading skills.
What if my child is shy or doesn't participate at first?
This is completely normal. Our teachers are trained to gently encourage participation without pressure. Most children open up by the second or third lesson and gain confidence quickly.
How quickly will I see results?
Most parents notice their child recognizing words and attempting to read simple sentences within the first month. Consistent practice (2 lessons weekly) yields the best results.
Where should a six-year-old start when learning English?
Children at this age learn best through playful and interactive activities. Our courses introduce basic vocabulary, simple phrases, songs and stories, helping kids gradually gain confidence in listening and speaking English while having fun.
Does my child need to know English before starting?
Not at all! Even if your child knows only a few words, they can begin learning. Lessons focus on listening, speaking, and understanding simple phrases, so beginners quickly start communicating and participating in class.
