English Foundations: Early Readers

Short, caregiver-led activities — no reading or independent typing required — that build the earliest sentence skills: hearing a whole idea versus a fragment, starting and ending a sentence, naming words and doing words, and telling one event, then two or more in order. Built for ages 5-7, done together with a parent or caregiver.
