English Language Arts
- The child has learned to identify and read words with the long "i" sound, such as "bike" and "like".
- They have practiced blending sounds to read multisyllable words like "muffin" and "puppy".
- The child has learned to recognize and use the silent "e" rule in words like "cake" and "make".
- They have practiced using context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words in a text.
For continued development, you can encourage the child to create their own sentences using words with the long "i" sound or silent "e". This will help reinforce their understanding and usage of these phonetic rules. Additionally, you can provide them with short passages or books that contain multisyllable words for them to practice blending and reading.
