This is a table that educators can use to share children's learnings with their families. It is a list of "I can…" statements. Each "I can…" statement has a scale that allows the educator to record how the child is progressing with App 1: The Polyglots in the Playroom.

The scale has three labels:

Beginning to do independently
Regularly doing confidently

The first line states:

  aaloo!
  Hello! (on the phone)

The third line states:
