Learning objectives focus on sequencing, distinguishing long and short vowels and self-correcting them, retelling stories and grade-level text with richer vocabulary and adjectives, making predictions, incorporating grammatical rules, writing all letters of the alphabet, writing simple sentences and editing them, reading aloud with fluency, following one-step and two-step directions, and comprehending English spoken at a normal speed.
