English Language Arts
- The child has learned to recognize and segment early phonemes and graphemes.
- They are able to blend simple CVC words using their knowledge of letter sounds.
- They have practiced reading and writing words with the phase 2 graphemes (e.g., s, a, t, p).
- They can orally blend and segment sounds in words.
For continued development, consider incorporating fun games and activities to reinforce phonics skills. This can include playing "sound hopscotch," where the child jumps on letters as they say their sounds, or creating a sensory phonics tray with sand or salt for tracing letters and blending sounds.
