In addition, they may use forms of non-verbal communication to demonstrate comprehension. Learning objectives focus on identifying all upper and lowercase letters, distinguishing between short and long vowel sounds, beginning to produce word families, making simple statements, retelling stories and texts using some adjectives, identifying main idea and other elements of a story, identifying all parts of a book, making predictions, recognizing basic punctuation, paraphrasing, speaking in comprehensible English, correcting own writing, and following one-step and two-step directions.
