Language goals vary by individual student. Language goals may include things like increasing overall understanding & use of vocabulary words, answering & asking WH questions, understanding how items go together in categories, understanding how two things are similar and different, using correct verb tenses, expanding the length of sentences, describing, and more. There are many opportunities to practice language during the day in a fun way.

Suggested Activities:

• Choose a book to read together and as you read, or after you finish a section, talk about:
  • Who is the main character? How would you describe him/her? Do you have anything in common with the character?
  • What problems do the characters face? How did they solve them? How are they feeling?
  • What is the setting? (where the story takes place)
  • Were there any words you didn’t recognize in this part? Let’s go back and see if we can figure out what it means using the words around it (or the context).
  • Did you notice any multiple meaning words? What do they mean? (Examples: fly, light)
  • What do you think will happen next?
