Reading and Spelling from Cambridge Workbook for Grade 1

English Language Arts

• The child has learned to recognize and identify common sight words.
• They have practiced phonics skills, such as identifying letter sounds and blending them to read words.
• They have developed their spelling skills by practicing writing and spelling common words.
• The child has improved their reading fluency and comprehension by reading short passages and answering questions about them.

For continued development, it is recommended to encourage the child to read books at their level regularly. This can help improve their reading skills, expand their vocabulary, and enhance their comprehension abilities. Additionally, engaging in activities like word games, writing short stories, or creating a spelling bee competition can further strengthen their spelling and language skills.
