November and December
January and February
Letter Names
  • Name the letters in print, in random order K, G, W, H, I, L, V, J, Sh, O, X, Y, Z, Q, and U
  • Matches upper and lower case letters
  • Indentifies and acts on letters when named
  • Names previously learned letters with automaticity when presented randomly
  • Matches upper and lower case letters for M, B, T, S, F, A, R, D, C, N, P, O, K, G, W, H, and I
  • Names previously learned letters effortlessly rapidly and accurately when presented in print in random order
Print Awareness
  • Points to written words in sequence as read
  • Finds initial letters in printed words (R, D, C, N, P, O )
  • Points to individual words in text
  • Points to individual words to indicate where text begins and ends
  • Recognizes key words and phrases in class contexts
  • Discriminates among letters, numbers and words in text
  • Finds initial letters inprinted words (K, G, W, H, and I)
  • Points to individual words in text
  • Shows sequence of print by pointing to individual words in left to right order
  • Identifies where text begins and ends
  • Recognizes key words and phrases in class contexts (e.g. L for like or lots)
  • Indentifies punctuation in text
Rhyming
  • Rhymes with -og, -ock, -on, -op, -ot
  • Indentifies oddity (non-example) in rhymes (e.g., -og: dog, fog, log, dock)
  • Creates a series of short "o" rhyming words orally
  • Rhymes with -ip, -ick, -id, -im, -in, -it, -ish, -ig
  • Identifies odddity (non-example) in rhymes (e.g., lip, sip, rip, fin, tip)
  • Creates a series of short "i" rhyming words orally
Alliteration, Initial Sound Indentification
  • Repeats or acts out alliteration phrases with /r/, /d/, /n/, /c/, /p/
  • Says what sound word starts with for /r/, /d/, /n/, /c/, /p/; generates words that start with these sounds with support
  • States the initial vowel heard in short "o" words (e.g., octopus, on, off, odd, often)
  • Sorts words with same first sound for /k/, /g/, /w/, /h/
  • Says common sounds for /m/, /b/, /s/, /t/, /f/, /r/, /d/, /n/, /c/, /p/
  • States the inititial vowel heard in short "i" words (e.g., in, it, itch, icky, into)
Sound Blending
  • Blends onset and rhyme endings to make words with -og, -ock, -on, -op, -ot
  • Blends individual sounds in small sets of familiar CVC words
  • Blends short "i" CVC words into phonemes
  • Segments CVC words into phonemes
  • Sound blends individual phonemes in words with short "i"
Letter-Sound Association
  • Matches phonemes to the letters for R, D, N, C, P, and O
  • Uses initial letter to read words in context
  • Produces the letter sounds with automaticity when presented with the letters for M, B, T, S, F, A and R, D, N, C, P, O
  • Match consonant and short vowel sounds to the letters for K, G, W, H, and I
  • Produces with automaticity the letter sounds when presented with the letters for M, B, T, S, F, A; R, D, C, N, P, O; K, G, W, H, I
Word Analysis
  • Makes short "o" words by substituting initial consonant with -og, -ock, -on, -op, -ot
  • Selects initial consonant to make a word when given a rhyme ending or letter sounds in print
  • Identifies recurring words with same rhyme ending
  • Make short "i" words by substituting initial consonant for short "i" combinations (e.g., ip)
  • Identifies the short vowel sound pattern when there is only one vowel in a syllable/word and is found in the initial or medial position
Decoding
  • Blends onset and rhyme to make short "o" word family
  • Reads word families with support: -og, -ock, -on, -op, -ot (e.g. fog, dog; sock, rock, dock; mop, bop, top, cop, pop; dot, not, pot)
  • Reads new short "a" words: pack, ram, pam; ran, fan, can, panl rat, cat, pat
  • Begins to decode pre-primer text with support
  • Reads short "i" word family words with support (e.g., tip, dip, lip, sip, rip, etc.)
  • Reads new CVC word families with K, G, W, H and previously introduced endings
  • Blends new CVC word families with K, G, W, H and previously introduced endings
  • Decodes pre-primer text
Spelling
  • Writes letters when given their sound: R, D, N, C, P, and O as well as for M, B, T, S, F and A
  • Adds initial letters to endings: -og, -ock, -on, -op, -ot to make words
  • Writes letters when given their sound
  • Writes simple CVC words from dictation when given initial and ending sounds broken apart
  • Adds initial letters to endings to make words (e.g., tip, dip, lip, sip, rip)
  • Writes CVC word families from dictation
Sight Word Recognition
  • Recognizes Group 2 high frequency sight words -- the, go, to, yes, and, play -- introduced in isolation or pairs
  • Spells Group 1 sight words without struggle
  • Recognizes Group 3 high frequency sight words -- did, my, is, will, it, in -- introduced in isolation or in pairs
  • Spells Group 1 and Group 2 sight words to maintain automaticity
