Language Accomplishments for Children - age 6

At age 6, most first-graders can:

  • Read and retell familiar stories.

  • Use a variety of ways to help with reading a story such as rereading, predicting what will happen, asking questions, or using visual cues or pictures.

  • Decide on their own to use reading and writing for different purposes;

  • Read some things aloud with ease.

  • Identify new words by using letter-sound matches, parts of words and their understanding of the rest of a story or printed item.

  • Identify an increasing number of words by sight.

  • Sound out and represent major sounds in a word when trying to spell.

  • Write about topics that mean a lot to them.

  • Try to use some punctuation marks and capitalization.
