Today, I would like to answer the question of "What English vocabulary should elementary school students in Japan learn?"

At English Plus, we offer lessons for both kids and adults.

Currently, we offer weekly English lessons for "junior high school students" and phonics and basic English lessons for "1st–6th grade elementary school students".

At English Plus, lessons for elementary school students focus on "phonics" and "basic English (vocabulary and grammar)".

By learning English from as early a stage as possible, students build a solid foundation for their future English ability.

There is a clear trend in English vocabulary that elementary school students should learn while they are still in elementary school.

So, today I would like to answer the question:
"What English words should elementary school students learn?"

✅ Family words (father, mother, brother, sister, etc.)
✅ School and stationery (pencil, eraser, book, school, etc.)
✅ Colors and shapes (red, blue, circle, square, etc.)
✅ Numbers (one to one hundred)
✅ Days of the week, months (Monday, January, etc.)
✅ Simple verbs (run, eat, play, go, etc.)
✅ Greetings (hello, thank you, goodbye, etc.)
✅ Weather and seasons (sunny, rainy, summer, winter, etc.)
✅ Animals and food (dog, cat, apple, rice, etc.)

Also, I would like to answer another question:
Why should I start early?

🌟 The elementary school age, with its high absorptive power, is the best time to learn English vocabulary naturally and effortlessly.
🌟 It is easy to input pronunciation as they hear it, and it is also the best time to develop listening skills at the same time.
🌟 It is also a good time to get a head start on junior high school English, and it is an advantage to start with confidence.
