Document
Concepts and Competencies
The learner will:
- Distinguish long and short vowels when reading regularly spelled one-syllable words
- Decode two-syllable words with long vowels and words with common prefixes and suffixes
- Read grade level high-frequency sight words and words with inconsistent but common spelling-sound correspondences
- Read grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words (e.g. was, Wednesday, again, Earth)
Supportive Practices
The adult will:
- Provide direct, explicit, and systematic phonics instruction
- Provide daily opportunities to practice reading on-level text and high frequency words
- Post high frequency words in the classroom (e.g. word wall)
- Incorporate high frequency words into meaningful context
- Provide ongoing progress monitoring to ensure mastery of taught skills
- Use decodable text for practice and transfer of phonics skills to text
