Concepts About Print:

- Match oral words to printed words.<?xml:namespace prefix = o /><?xml:namespace prefix = o />

- Identify the title and author of a reading selection.

- Identify letters, words, and sentences.

Phonemic Awareness: -   Distinguish initial, medial, and final sounds in single-syllable words.

- Distinguish long- and short-vowel sounds in orally stated single-syllable words (e.g., bit/bite).

- Create and state a series of rhyming words, including consonant blends.

- Add, delete, or change target sounds to change words (e.g., change cow to how; pan to an).

- Blend two to four phonemes into recognizable words (e.g., /c/a/t/ = cat; /f/l/a/t/ = flat).

- Segment single syllable words into their components (e.g., cat = /c/a/t/; /s/p/l/a/t/ = splat;

/r/i/ch/ = rich).

Decoding and Word Recognition:

- Generate the sounds from all the letters and letter patterns, including consonant blends and

long- and short-vowel patterns (i.e., phonograms), and blend those sounds into recognizable

words.

- Read common, irregular sight words (e.g., the, have, said, come, give, of).

- Use knowledge of vowel digraphs and r-controlled letter-sound associations to read words.

- Read compound words and contractions.

- Read inflectional forms (e.g., -s, -ed, -ing) and root words (e.g., look, looked, looking).

- Read common word families (e.g., -ite, -ate).

-Read aloud with fluency in a manner that sounds like natural speech.

Vocabulary and Concept Development:

- Classify grade appropriate categories of words (e.g., concrete collections of animals, foods, and

toys).

- READING COMPREHENSION: Students read and understand grade-level-appropriate

material. They draw upon a variety of comprehension strategies as needed (e.g., generating and

responding to essential questions, making predictions, comparing information from several

sources).

Structural Features of Informational Materials:

- Identify text that uses sequence or other logical order.

Comprehension and Analysis of Grade-Level-Appropriate Text:

- Respond to who, what, when, where, and how questions.

- Follow one-step written instructions.

- Use context to resolve ambiguities about word and sentence meanings.

- Confirm predictions about what will happen next in a text by identifying key words (i.e., signpost

words).

- Relate prior knowledge to textual information.
