Hi Julie, I wonder if you use some photos to help bridge the immediate communicate gap might help? Maybe use some simple sign language to help with language lag (speaking the english word/phrase along with basic sign). I taught in a university lab school where many of the 3 year old children entering the classroom where not native english speakers- It is just amazing to see how very quickly they pick up the language needed to communicate with their new friends! The more you can facilitate play with his classmates the quicker he will pick up speaking english. It sounds like you are concerned to help this little guy-What a positive beginning for him...I am confident he is in good hands! Kindest regards, Jan Name: Email: Subject
