Phonics

English Language Arts

• The child learned how to identify and pronounce individual letter sounds.
• They learned how to blend letter sounds together to form simple words.
• They practiced recognizing and reading common sight words.
• The child learned how to use phonics rules to decode unfamiliar words.

For continued development, encourage the child to practice phonics skills through everyday activities. For example, while driving in the car, ask them to identify letter sounds they see on billboards or signs. Play word games where they have to blend sounds or segment words into individual sounds. Encourage them to read aloud books with repetitive text to reinforce their phonics knowledge.
