• Reading book or story

No prior knowledge required.

Activities

• Reading Time: Read a short story or book with the student. Discuss the characters, setting, and main events.
• Sentence Types: Write different types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory) on the whiteboard or paper. Discuss each type and have the student identify them.
