Core Skills Analysis
English
Cillian completed two pages in the book "Get Ready for The Code" Book A. Through this activity, he practiced engaging with printed instructional material and following the directions presented on the pages. Completing the pages gave Cillian experience sustaining attention during a structured English-language task and responding to written prompts or exercises. Because the exact page content was not provided, his specific vocabulary, phonics, or comprehension skills could not be determined.
Tips
Tips: Invite Cillian to read the directions aloud and explain what each page asked him to do. Ask him to circle any unfamiliar words, then discuss their meanings together. He could create a small drawing or sentence showing what he practiced, and later revisit one completed page to explain his thinking.
