Activity: "Read Independently"

English Language Arts

• The child practices recognizing and reading sight words independently.
• The child demonstrates understanding of basic punctuation marks (period, question mark, exclamation mark) while reading aloud.
• The child makes predictions and inferences based on the illustrations and text.
• The child begins to identify and discuss the main idea and key details in a text.

Encourage the child to continue developing their reading skills by incorporating activities that promote phonics awareness. Use flashcards or word games to reinforce sight words and letter sounds. Engage in discussions about the stories and encourage the child to make connections to their own experiences. Encourage the child to retell the story in their own words to improve comprehension skills.
