Which skills are better to teach first for young learners?

There are two principles, the observance of which will help you to achieve good results in teaching young learners:1. Sequence (do not rush up to teach the child the tricks of spelling and grammar, if you have the slightest doubt that he is ready for that. If you do not use any tutorials, and components of the program itself, you should pay special attention to ensure that the giving material is sequentially. Although experience shows that it's better to use a good tutorial - a plan made by a professional philologist, to let the education be effective) ,2.Perseverance (maybe not everything goes as smoothly as you would like. If a child would not like any method , just postpone it, and then try to interest him in the lesson by another way, with the game for example).

And as to the skills - You should begin from the spelling first, then reading, writing and complicate the task with time. You should use a method - "from lung to complex".

The best skills to be taught first are listening and repeating.
