Writing

English Language Arts

• The child has learned to identify and write uppercase and lowercase letters.
• They have learned to write and spell their own name.
• They have learned to write simple words and sentences.
• They have learned to use basic punctuation (periods, question marks, exclamation marks) in their writing.

For continued development, encourage the child to practice writing letters and words in different contexts, such as writing shopping lists or short stories. Provide them with a variety of writing tools like colored pencils, markers, and crayons to make writing more engaging and fun.
