English Language Arts

• The child has learned to recognize and write letters of the alphabet through practicing writing their name and simple words.
• Through writing, the child has developed an understanding of the concept of storytelling and sequencing events in a logical manner.
• The activity has encouraged the child to express their thoughts and ideas through written words, enhancing their communication skills.
• Through the activity, the child has developed fine motor skills necessary for writing, such as grip, control, and hand-eye coordination.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different writing materials such as colored pencils, markers, or chalk for variety. Encourage storytelling through drawing pictures and then writing about the story they created. Practice tracing letters and words in different textures like sand, rice, or pudding to make the writing experience more sensory and interactive.
