A simpler, story-based way to teach children English is coming soon

We’re rebuilding the Print & Play Club to make learning English through stories, play, and hands-on activities even easier to follow — for both families and classrooms.

Each pack includes:

Hi, I'm Catherine

I help children learn English at home through stories and play with affordable and accessible resources. With over 10 years of experience educating children and over 5000 online ESL classes, I've learnt what methods work to keep children engaged and motivated to learn.

As part of theOET's development, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful stories can be in helping children connect with language. With a focus on playful, hands-on, and multisensory learning, I’ve designed these resources to bring exciting and engaging printables to your home.

I’m here to guide you through every step of your family's language learning journey, making learning English a joyful experience for you and your children.

I look forward to helping your children develop their English skills!

FAQs

Do I need to buy the books?

It would be great if you had access to the book at home for your children to explore, but it isn't necessary to purchase it yourself. There are many public in-person and digital libraries where you can access books for free. Also, there are often read-alouds of each story on YouTube. I will share links to either purchase or access each book online.

How do I access the membership?

Currently the Print and Play Club is closed to new members. We are making improvements to provide even more value for children learning ESL. Sign up to the waiting list and be the first to be invited to the new PPC.

Do I have to pay per child?

No, each membership plan is per family. So whether you have 1 or 10 children living with you, you still only pay for one monthly plan. If you have family members or friends outside of your home who wish to use the materials, they will need to sign up to their own membership plan. Please do not share the printables outside of your home.

Will these resources make my child fluent in English?

Every child learns at their own pace, with some finding learning a language easier than others. There is no "one size fits all" solution when it comes to language learning. If you are looking for a "quick solution", then PPC may not be for you. Instead of a rushed pace, PPC focuses on teaching children in a way that feels as natural as possible to them. By incorporating language learning through their favourite stories, offering play-based activities, and multisensory experiences e.g. cooking or crafts. These activities help children not only connect with a new language in a way that feels more natural to them, but also creates a positive relationship with language-learning so that they enjoy the experience.
