Grammar, in every stage Ages 3.5–15
Online English grammar classes for kids: how is grammar taught?
At Little Lingos, children aged 3.5 to 15 learn English grammar by using it: they say a sentence pattern in conversation, read it in stories and then write it, with a short explanation from the trainer when the pattern comes up. Grammar is part of every stage rather than a separate course, in live 40-minute classes of 3 to 6 children or one-on-one.
Grammar by stage
Which grammar each stage covers
Seeds · 3.5–6
First sentence patterns
“I like…” and “I can…” sentences, action words and sight words, spoken in short sentences about daily routines, food and feelings.
Sprouts · 7–10
Tenses and connected sentences
Describing words and question words, the past tense to tell stories in order, “because” sentences to give reasons, then paragraphs and punctuation.
Blooms · 11–15
Grammar for argument and essays
Persuasive language in debates, then essays, reports and formal emails with structure, voice and editing.
Why use, not drills
A well-known review of writing research, Writing Next, found that grammar taught as separate drills did not improve students' writing, while practice combining short sentences into longer ones did. Read our grammar guide for parents
In class
How a grammar point is taught
- Children hear the pattern in a story, song or clip
- Every child uses it out loud, in pair talk or role-play
- They read it and write a few sentences with it
- The trainer gives a short explanation and gentle corrections
School tests
Grammar for school
Classes aren't tied to one board's syllabus, but they cover the tenses, sentence types, punctuation and writing that school English asks for. Worksheets from school still help with revision before a test; classes help your child use the grammar in their own speech and writing. Helping with English homework

Questions parents ask
Questions parents ask
Do you offer separate English grammar classes?
No. Grammar is part of every Little Lingos stage, taught through speaking, reading and writing, rather than a separate grammar course.
Will classes help with school grammar tests?
Classes cover the tenses, sentence types, punctuation and writing that school English asks for, and help children use them in their own sentences. School worksheets are still useful for revision just before a test.
What grammar does a 7 to 10 year old learn?
In Sprouts, children learn describing words and question words, the past tense to tell stories in order, “because” sentences to give reasons, and paragraphs and punctuation in their writing.
Do trainers correct grammar mistakes?
Yes, gently. Trainers repeat the sentence correctly and point out one pattern at a time, so children keep talking and learn the pattern by using it.
Who are the trainers?
Classes are led by a global team of experienced trainers who have taught English to children for at least 2 years and pass a background check.
Can we switch from group to one-on-one?
Yes. You can switch from group to one-on-one classes at any time by paying only the difference.
