Reading simple sentences
Read short sentences aloud and match them to pictures.
Planned. This module is part of the plan and is not written yet.
Why it matters
A short sentence such as 'The goat is in the yard' is a whole message; reading one alone is a child's first taste of finding things out for themselves.
