• Cognitive Development: Mastering these grammatical concepts strengthens critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
• Academic Success: A strong foundation in grammar is crucial for reading comprehension and writing proficiency, leading to improved academic performance across subjects.
• Real-World Applications: Comparatives and superlatives are used daily in everyday conversations, making them essential for social interactions and navigating the world around them.
• Early Intervention: Introducing these concepts early on builds a strong linguistic base, setting children up for lifelong language success.

Tips for Teaching Comparatives and Superlatives:

• Use Real-Life Examples: Compare sizes of toys, heights of family members, and tastes of different foods.
• Incorporate Games: Play games like "I Spy" using comparative adjectives (e.g., "I spy something bigger than the book").
