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.
