My child is learing to read

English Language Arts

• The child has learned to recognize and identify letters of the alphabet.
• They have learned the sounds associated with each letter.
• They can now blend sounds together to form simple words.
• The child has also started to develop sight word recognition.

Continued development can be encouraged by playing fun word games with your child. You can create flashcards with sight words or letters and have your child match them. You can also try making up silly rhymes or songs using the words they've learned to make it more engaging.
