For decades we had been teaching English to children in small groups of up to 8 children. Children were learning spoken English with the methodology I had created: repeated home background hearing, and positive reinforcement in class from the specially trained teacher. The results were outstanding. As a linguist, I knew that children should be learning as early as possible, and that reading and writing were not the way to start teaching a language. Indeed, language is initially and most fundamentally understanding and speaking. I created fun teaching materials, taught children of all ages and then I launched the training of other teachers to teach with my method and teaching materials. Today, as a leading franchisor of English education, I am proud to be celebrating 30 years of Helen Doron English. Yet there was a demand for teaching in larger groups of children in kindergartens. The Helen Doron English teaching materials and teacher guides were created for small groups. So I decided to create a different brand—a brand for large group learning, yet still using our unique methodology. The Didi and Polly brand and courses have been developed using the Helen Doron method of teaching English as a foreign language. The kindergarten and pre-school children learn through engaging videos, songs, stories and conversation created for our programmes, and with skilled positive reinforcement given by trained Didi and Polly teachers. The four courses are so different from Helen Doron English courses that some students learn with Didi and Polly in kindergarten during the morning and learn with Helen Doron English in the afternoon! We, at the Helen Doron Educational Group, are dedicated to provide the very best and most innovative educational materials and training support. The reputation of our pedagogic excellence is known worldwide and highly respected. I welcome you to join us. Yours Truly, Helen Doron
