2.2F Reading and Writing Foundations
- Phonological Awareness: Students will recognize, count, and manipulate the parts of spoken words, including syllables, onset/rimes, and phonemes without using text.
- 2.2.PA Students will add, delete, and substitute phonemes in spoken words with 5-6 phonemes (e.g., add /th/ to the beginning of rowing to say throwing; delete the /r/ in trips to say tips; substitute the /l/ in clank with /r/ to say crank).
- Print Concepts: Students will demonstrate their understanding of the organization and basic features of print.
- 2.2.PC Students will correctly form letters in print and use appropriate spacing for letters, words, and sentences.
- Phonics and Word Study: Students will decode words by applying phonics and word analysis skills in context and isolation.
- 2.2.PWS.1 Students will decode one- and two-syllable words by using their knowledge of the following phonics skills:
- 2.2.PWS.1.a single consonants, including those with two different sounds (e.g., soft and hard c [cent, cat] and g [gem, goat])
- 2.2.PWS.1.b consonant blends (e.g., bl, br, cr, spr, spl)
- 2.2.PWS.1.c consonant digraphs and trigraphs (e.g., sh, tch)
- 2.2.PWS.1.d vowel-consonant-silent e (e.g., lake)
- 2.2.PWS.1.e r-controlled vowels (i.e., ar, er, ir or, ur)
- 2.2.PWS.1.f vowel digraphs (e.g., ea, oa, ee)
- 2.2.PWS.1.g vowel diphthongs (i.e., vowel combinations having two vowel sounds [e.g., oi as in boil, oy as in boy])
- 2.2.PWS.1.h schwa (e.g., banana)
- 2.2.PWS.1.i silent letter combinations (knew, could, ghost)
- 2.2.PWS.2 Students will decode words by applying knowledge of all major syllable types:
- 2.2.PWS.2.a closed
- 2.2.PWS.2.b open
- 2.2.PWS.2.c vowel digraphs
- 2.2.PWS.2.d vowel-consonant-silent e
- 2.2.PWS.2.e r-controlled
- 2.2.PWS.2.f consonant +le
- 2.2.PWS.3 Students will decode words by applying knowledge of structural analysis:
- 2.2.PWS.3.a compound words
- 2.2.PWS.3.b inflectional endings (e.g., -s, -ed, -ing)
- 2.2.PWS.3.c contractions
- 2.2.PWS.3.e abbreviations
- 2.2.PWS.3.f common roots and related prefixes and suffixes
- 2.2.PWS.1 Students will decode one- and two-syllable words by using their knowledge of the following phonics skills:
- Spelling/Encoding: Students will encode and write words in context and isolation by applying phonics, spelling patterns, and structural analysis skills.
- 2.2.SE.1 Students will use correct spelling when writing the following sounds in words:
- 2.2.SE.1.a digraphs
- 2.2.SE.1.b trigraphs
- 2.2.SE.1.c vowel digraphs
- 2.2.SE.1.d r-controlled
- 2.2.SE.2 Students will use correct spelling when writing the following syllable types in single-syllable and multisyllabic words:
- 2.2.SE.2.a closed
- 2.2.SE.2.b open
- 2.2.SE.2.c vowel-consonant-silent e
- 2.2.SE.2.d r-controlled
- 2.2.SE.3 Students will use structural analysis to correctly spell the following parts of words:
- 2.2.SE.3.a common prefixes
- 2.2.SE.3.b common suffixes
- 2.2.SE.3.c common spelling rules related to adding prefixes and suffixes (e.g., dropping the final -e, doubling a consonant)
- 2.2.SE.1 Students will use correct spelling when writing the following sounds in words:
- Fluency: Students will read grade-level text smoothly and accurately, with appropriate expression.
- 2.2.F.1 Students will expand their sight word vocabulary by reading regularly- and irregularly-spelled words in isolation and context with increasing automaticity.
- 2.2.F.2 Students will orally and accurately read grade-level text at a smooth rate with expression that connotes comprehension.
