Hi all - my son has just started reception and he has English as a second language. His schools is offering French as an optional club (during school hours) and I am debating whether it's a good time or if it's too early to start a third language considering he's having to adjust to English as well. He is doing well with English, he can spell, write the letters, does well with phonics, etc, but it is a change for him having to communicate in English all day. Would be grateful to hear from parents who have been in a similar situation, what did you do, is adding a third language a good idea in reception? We won't be able to help with french at all as neither of us has a clue...Advice please!
