At the completion of this level, students should feel confident holding short conversations about every day topics such as weather, time, clothing, and transportation, be able to read simple stories, write simple sentences with correct end punctuation and capitalization, have a solid understanding of the English alphabet, be able to use English conventions for numbers in a variety of contexts, and be able to use language to have basic needs met in an English-only environment.
