Students will begin to use expanded vocabulary to participate effectively in social and academic conversations and presentations with occasional difficulty. They may continue to use forms of non-verbal communication to demonstrate comprehension, but will rely more upon verbal skills. Learning objectives focus on rhyming words, retelling stories with richer vocabulary, incorporating grammatical rules, following one-step and two-step directions, and comprehending English spoken at a normal speed.
