Letters and sounds

English Language Arts

• The child learned letter recognition and identification, being able to identify and name the letters of the alphabet.
• They also learned letter-sound correspondence, understanding the sounds that each letter makes.
• The child practiced phonemic awareness, being able to identify and manipulate individual sounds in words.
• They developed their reading skills by blending letter sounds together to form words.

For continued development, encourage the child to practice their letter recognition and letter-sound correspondence through various activities such as word hunts, letter matching games, and phonics worksheets. Provide them with opportunities to read aloud and practice blending sounds to form words. Additionally, engage them in activities that promote phonemic awareness, such as identifying rhyming words and playing with phoneme substitution.
