Learned reading

English Language Arts

• The First-grade child has learned to recognize and identify letters of the alphabet.
• They have learned to decode simple words and understand basic phonics rules.
• They have developed basic reading comprehension skills, such as understanding the main idea and recalling details from a text.
• The child has learned to read simple sentences and short stories with guidance.

For continued development, encourage the child to practice reading aloud every day. This can be done by selecting books at their reading level or even by reading signs and labels while on a walk. Engaging the child in conversations about the books they read will also help improve their comprehension skills.
