English Language Arts
- The First-grade child has learned to recognize and read basic sight words.
- They can identify and pronounce the sounds of the alphabet.
- They have improved their reading fluency and can read simple sentences with ease.
- The child has developed a basic understanding of story structure, including the beginning, middle, and end of a story.
To continue developing the child's reading skills, it is beneficial to engage them in activities that promote reading comprehension. Encourage them to retell a story in their own words or ask them questions about the characters and plot. Additionally, providing opportunities for the child to read aloud to others or participate in reading circles can enhance their reading fluency.
