grammar and structure

English Language Arts

• The child has learned to identify and use different types of sentences, such as declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory.
• They have learned to recognize and use proper punctuation marks, including periods, question marks, exclamation marks, and commas.
• The child has practiced forming and using contractions, such as "can't" instead of "cannot" and "I'm" instead of "I am".
• They have learned to distinguish between singular and plural nouns and use the appropriate verb forms.

For continued development, encourage the child to write their own creative stories or dialogues using the concepts they have learned. They can also play grammar-based games or participate in interactive online activities to reinforce their understanding of grammar and sentence structure.
