What do A1 and A2 mean and how can you tell your child is truly progressing? The CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is an internationally recognized system that defines language proficiency from complete beginner to native-like fluency.
Your child is just beginning their English journey. They can understand simple greetings and familiar words, use short phrases and recognize everyday objects. This level is designed for early or pre-readers, with a focus on listening, speaking and visual support.
Your child can understand and use everyday words and short phrases about familiar topics. They can introduce themselves, ask and answer simple questions and take part in short conversations. They can also read and understand short texts with support from pictures.
Your child can understand simple sentences and short conversations about familiar topics. They can communicate in everyday situations, share basic information about themselves and others, and describe their surroundings, habits and experiences using simple language.
Teens can take part in everyday conversations, handle most travel situations on their own, describe experiences and events, and explain their opinions with reasons.

Every learner’s journey is unique. CEFR levels aren’t tied to age — they reflect a child’s experience and progress in learning English. What matters most is steady, confident growth, not how early your child reaches a certain level.
Yes! With consistent learning (2-3 weekly lessons) starting around the age of 6-7, reaching B1 by the age of 12 is realistic and common among Novakid students.
School grades measure how well a student performs in a particular lesson or subject. CEFR levels, on the other hand, measure overall language ability — showing what a learner can do in English, no matter where or how they have studied.
Our levels are designed specifically for children aged 4-16, matching their developmental stages and interests. They align with CEFR standards while being more age-appropriate than adult-oriented CEFR categories.
Yes! With consistent learning (3 weekly lessons) starting around the age of 10-12, reaching B1 by the age of 15-16 is realistic and common among Novakid students preparing for university or study abroad.
The time needed to move from A1 to A2 depends on how often the child practises English and how regularly they attend lessons.
With consistent learning, most children make this transition in about 6–9 months.
At Novakid, students follow a structured CEFR-aligned programme with regular speaking practice, interactive homework and continuous teacher feedback. This helps children build vocabulary, improve listening skills and start speaking in longer sentences — the key indicators for level A2.
Because every child learns at their own pace, parents can track progress in the learning dashboard and see how their child moves from one level to the next.
Yes — Novakid lessons are designed so children can successfully learn English from home in an engaging and structured way.
All lessons are held in a virtual classroom, with a professional teacher, interactive activities and real-time communication, so students get the same speaking practice as in an offline lesson — and often even more.
