         <description><![CDATA[<p>Saiyuri has made good progress in her early literacy skills this year. She can confidently say the days of the week and the months of the year, showing an awareness of sequence and time. She is able to recognise pictures that represent the letters of the alphabet, linking images to sounds in a fun and meaningful way, although she is still learning to identify the letters themselves.</p><p>Enjoying activities that support literacy development, she takes part in singing alphabet songs, matching pictures to letters, listening to stories, and participating in rhyming games. She engages attentively during story time, answers questions, and shows curiosity about the text and illustrations. Activities such as tracing pictures, drawing, and identifying objects that start with different sounds help build early phonemic awareness and prepare her for letter recognition.</p><p>Her enthusiasm for exploring sounds and linking them to images lays a strong foundation for future reading and writing skills. Confidence and joy continue to grow as she engages with literacy activities.</p>]]></description>
