English Language Arts
- The child has learned basic reading skills such as recognizing letters, words, and simple sentences from reading "Big Shark, Little Shark, Baby Shark."
- They have developed phonemic awareness by identifying rhyming words and repeating simple sound patterns found in the book.
- The child has expanded their vocabulary by encountering new words related to sharks and ocean animals.
- They have practiced comprehension skills by retelling the story and answering questions about the plot and characters.
For continued development, encourage the child to create their own shark-themed story using their imagination. They can draw illustrations to accompany the story and practice reading it aloud to improve fluency. Additionally, you can provide other books about sea creatures or introduce non-fiction books about sharks to further explore the subject.
