English Language Arts

• Understanding and adding suffixes to base words such as -ing, -ed, -er, -est
• Recognizing and correcting common spelling and grammar errors in sentences
• Creating and editing sentences to convey clear meaning and proper grammar
• Developing an awareness of sentence structure and the importance of punctuation

For continued development, encourage the child to practice writing sentences using different suffixes and apply basic grammar and spell-check rules. Engaging in creative writing exercises can make learning more enjoyable and effective. For example, asking the child to create a short story and then self-edit for suffixes, spelling, and grammar can help reinforce these concepts in a fun and engaging way.
