Basic vocabulary development is emphasized, along with simple word recognition. Children are encouraged to express themselves through storytelling and drawing, fostering creativity and language use. Interactive activities and read-aloud sessions aim to instill a love for reading, setting the stage for future literacy development. Lessons align with state standards to ensure a comprehensive introduction to language arts.
