English Language Arts
- The child has demonstrated an understanding of reading comprehension by reviewing old stories and discussing the main characters and events.
- They have practiced language skills by re-reading sentences and identifying grammar and punctuation errors in their old work.
- Through revisiting old writing pieces, the child has honed their understanding of narrative structure, including beginning, middle, and end.
Continued development can involve encouraging the child to create a scrapbook or portfolio of their previous work, allowing them to reflect on their growth as a reader and writer. They can also be prompted to write letters to their past selves, reflecting on how they've improved and what they've learned from their old work.
