English Language Arts
- The child learned to recognize and sound out different letter blends, such as "br," "st," and "ch."
- They practiced reading and decoding simple words using phonics rules.
- They identified rhyming words and practiced creating their own rhymes.
- The child learned to break words into syllables to aid in reading and spelling.
To continue developing phonics skills, encourage the child to play word games like "I Spy" where they have to find objects that start with specific letter sounds. They can also practice making word families by changing the beginning or ending sounds of words. Additionally, encourage them to read books with repetitive and rhyming patterns to reinforce phonics concepts.
