Mantra Lingua have released their dual language reading ebooks for free to support Parents and pupils with home learning. 37 languages available and some lovely books suitable for lots of different ages. Just sign up on the website link above.
This link contains lots of websites, apps and links to sites supporting EAL learning at home during school closures. Some support pupils learning at different levels of English and some support for parents/guardians as well as support for teachers with EAL learners in their classes. Lots of resources to help teachers with learning and teaching ideas.
Some of these we have posted already, but there are some excellent resources in here. Have a look!
Attached are a variety of corona virus support materials – books, leaflets, workbooks – for young people of all ages and their parents/guardians to look at if they are feeling anxious about the current situation. Hopefully you can find some that will help understand how the virus is affecting people’s lives and how to manage their feelings around this.

If you want to listen to some stories – either ones you have read in your English class, such as Macbeth or Private Peaceful, or some new stories, such as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, then the link below is very good. Just pick a story and listen along. It is good for your English language structure and pronunciation.
Jekyll and Hyde even gives you language structure and characterisation hints in the video as it is being read to help you understand the language better.
They are quite good for all ages. Link below.

Enjoy!
At this challenging time for everyone, our young people may be finding things difficult to understand. The link below will provide some leaflets about Covid-19/ Corona virus in their own languages.
Hope this helps. https://www.mindheart.co/descargables
