Reading

English Language Arts

• The First-grade child has learned the concept of letter recognition through reading. They can identify and name uppercase and lowercase letters.
• They have developed phonemic awareness by recognizing the sounds of letters and blending them to form words.
• The child has improved their reading comprehension skills by understanding and retelling a story or information from a text.
• They have learned basic sight words and can read them fluently in context.

Continued development can be encouraged by incorporating fun activities such as creating a reading scavenger hunt. Provide a list of words or sentences for the child to find and read in different books or texts. This activity not only strengthens their reading skills but also adds an element of excitement and engagement to the learning process.
