English Language Arts
- The child is exposed to different storylines and themes through the picture books.
- The child starts to recognize and associate images with words or objects.
- The child develops early comprehension skills by interpreting the illustrations in the books.
- The child gains exposure to basic vocabulary and language patterns as they listen to you read aloud the picture books.
One creative way to further develop the child's skills is to encourage them to make up their own stories based on the pictures in the books. Ask the child questions about the characters or events in the illustrations and let their imagination run wild. This activity enhances their storytelling abilities and helps them understand narrative structure.
