Reading a book

English

• The 4 year old student has learned vocabulary words and enhanced language comprehension by engaging with the story and its characters.
• Through the book, the student has practiced listening skills and developed an understanding of narrative structure.
• Reading a book has also encouraged the student to express their thoughts and feelings about the story, improving communication skills.
• The child may have also gained a basic understanding of grammar and sentence structure through exposure to the text.

For continued development, encourage the child to retell the story in their own words, ask open-ended questions about the book's content, and provide opportunities for the child to dictate or write their own short stories based on their imagination.
