Welcome to Parents

LearnEnglish Kids is the British Council's website for children who are learning English as a second or foreign language.

This site has free resources for children to use at home, either independently or with family members or friends. The resources have been created and developed by teachers and professionals who work with children who are learning English. They have been designed to help children learn English while having fun, or while learning about something else.

It is a good idea to look at the materials on LearnEnglish Kids first to see which ones are best for your child. You can use our search tool under learning resources to quickly find exactly what you're looking for.
