English Language Arts

• The Seventh-grade child has learned how to analyze and interpret literature through close reading of various texts.
• They have developed their writing skills by composing essays and narratives that include clear thesis statements, supporting evidence, and proper organization.
• They have improved their grammar and punctuation skills through editing and revising their written work.
• The child has also expanded their vocabulary by regularly reading and discussing challenging texts.

For continued development, encourage the child to participate in book clubs or reading groups where they can discuss literature with their peers. Additionally, they can explore online writing communities or start a personal blog to practice their writing skills and receive feedback from others. Finally, encourage them to read a variety of genres and authors to further expand their literary knowledge and appreciation.
