English Language Arts
- The child practiced reading comprehension by discussing the story of staying with nana and answering questions about the plot.
- They improved their vocabulary by learning new words from the book and using them in conversations with nana.
- Through writing a journal entry about their experience, the child enhanced their writing skills.
- They developed their listening and speaking abilities by engaging in conversations with nana and sharing their thoughts and feelings about the activities they did together.
To further enhance the child's English Language Arts skills, you can encourage them to create their own story or poem inspired by their time with nana. This will allow them to explore their creativity and practice their writing skills. Another suggestion is to have the child read aloud a chapter or a short story to nana, promoting their reading fluency and expression.
