Although the difference with 6-year-old kids might seem small, the cognitive milestones at this age vary widely. Your 7-year-old child will continue to develop their language rapidly. As their vocabulary and reading skills grow and the number of sight words they know expands, they will enter the world of more complex multi-chapter books. At this age, your child will most likely be able to:

• Use the singular and plural nouns in English more efficiently than before

• Show advanced skills in using grammatical markers like “me”, “you”, “we”, “us”, “he”, “she”, “they” etc.
• Use possessive pronouns like “my”, “mine”, “his”, “her” etc. to say who things belong to

• Talk and write about different jobs, feelings
• Learn about the use of the verb “to be” in present simple and efficiently use some of them
• Learn new words in this language through practice and fix the already learned words
• Understand what’s being said to them, since their listening skills should be better
• Identify and be able to use the sentence structures with “can/ can’t” to talk about ability and “have you got” to talk about food
• Talk and write about birds and what they can or can’t do
• Say what I like and don’t like doing
• Recognize and use time concepts to talk about routines
• Count and say numbers to 100
• Measure and say how long something is
