Phonological Awareness

Recognize and produce rhyming words.

Count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words.

Blend and segment onsets and rimes of single-syllable spoken words.

Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.1 (This does not include CVCs ending with /l/, /r/, or /x/.)

Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words

·         Phonics and Word Recognition

·         Associate the long and short sounds with the common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.

·         Read common high-frequency words by sight (e.g., theofto, youshemyisaredodoes).

·         Distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ
