Students will match printed consonants and vowels, consonant digraphs (e.g., ch), and blends (e.g., sk) with their corresponding speech sound(s).

Students will build phonetically regular and irregular words at the onset-rime (e.g., r+ake = rake) and letter (e.g. c+a+t = cat) levels that include short and long vowel sounds, digraphs (e.g., ea, ck), diphthongs (e.g., igh), and consonant blends (e.g., fr).

Students will develop automaticity in their ability to decode, recognize, and use low and high frequency phonetically regular and irregular words, which will support vocabulary growth.

Students have access to interactive, informational text eBooks about a variety of topics (e.g. STEM) that feature diverse populations with read-aloud capability that facilitate vocabulary expansion and reading fluency development.

Students will use knowledge of phonics, grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary, and reading fluency to facilitate text comprehension.
