English Language Arts
- The child has learned letter sounds through explicit phonics instruction.
- They have learned to blend letter sounds to read simple words.
- They have learned basic sight words through repetitive practice.
- They have developed phonemic awareness by identifying and manipulating individual sounds in words.
For continued development, encourage the child to practice reading aloud with a variety of texts, such as storybooks, signs, and labels. Engage in word games and rhyming activities to further enhance their phonemic awareness. Provide opportunities for the child to write and spell words using the letter sounds they have learned, reinforcing their understanding of phonics.
