Reading Standards for Literature K‐5 The following standards offer a focus for instruction each year and help ensure that students gain adequate exposure to a range of texts and tasks. Rigor is also infused through the requirement that students read increasingly complex texts through the grades. Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year’s grade specific standards and retain or further develop skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades.

Reading Standards: Foundational Skills (K‐5) These standards are directed towards fostering students’ understanding and working knowledge of concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, and other basic conventions of the English writing system. These foundational skills are not an end in and of themselves; rather, they are necessary and important components of an effective, comprehensive reading program designed to develop proficient readers with the capacity to comprehend text across a range of types and disciplines. Instruction should be differentiated: good readers will need much less practice with these concepts than struggling readers will. The point is to teach students what they need to learn and not what they already know – to discern when particular children or activities warrant more or less attention.  Note: In kindergarten, children are expected to demonstrate increasing awareness and competence in the areas that follow.

Writing Standards K‐5 The following standards for K‐5 offer a focus for instruction each year to help ensure that students gain adequate mastery of a range of skills and applications. Each year in their writing, students should demonstrate increasing sophistication in all aspects of language use. From vocabulary and syntax to the development and organization of ideas, and they should address increasingly demanding content and sources. Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year’s grade‐specific standards and retain or further developing skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades. The expected growth in students writing ability is reflected both in the standards themselves and in the collection of annotated student writing samples in Appendix C.

Layers of Phonics Continuum Details

Layers of Phonics Continuum Details

Letter-sound correspondences:• Consonant letter names With letter names we are focusing on having students be able to

recognize and recall the names of upper and lowercase letters for consonants• Consonant letter sounds refers to consonants that are represented by a one to one

correspondence (e.g., m-> /m/)• Vowel letter names With letter names we are focusing on having students be able to

recognize and recall the names of upper and lowercase letters for vowels.• Short vowel sounds are often the first focus of vowel instruction with long vowel sounds

and the many ways they are represented in letter combinations being introduced later on.• Hard and soft c and g c and g are two letters that have hard and soft sounds. Hard c is

the sound /k/ when it is followed by an a, o, u as in cat, cot, cut and when it is followedby an e, i, y, it is the soft sound or /s/ as in city, cent, cycle and the same three lettersapply for hard g or the /g/ sound (gate, got, gum) and the soft sound is /j/ when followedby e, i, y, like in gem, giant, gym

• Multiple sounds of x and s – The letters x and s have multiple sounds - x has threesounds - /k/ as in excite, /k//s/ as in mix, and /g//z/ as in exit (with /k//s/ being the mostcommon) and s has the voiced and unvoiced sound and when it is voiced it becomes a /z/sound as in runs – when the consonant sound before the s is a voiced sound, then the /s/becomes voiced and makes the /z/ sound as in – bets (t is unvoiced) and then beds (d isvoiced and the s makes the /z/ sound)

Consonant Blends and Digraphs• Consonant digraphs two consonant letters that make one sound (e.g., sh -> /sh/)• Consonant blends two or more consonants adjacent to each other in a word, but each

retains its original sound (e.g., clip or strap)• Silent Letters in English we have some letters that are silent and come in certain patterns

and locations within words for example the kn- pattern has a silent K and usually comesat the beginning of the word or at least beginning of syllable (acknowledgement), anotherpattern with silent letters are –lk as in talk, -mb as in lamb which both usually come at theend of the word or syllable and the ‘h’ in ghost

• Oddities are low frequency patterns, or are exceptions to the typical patterns, somewhatof a “misc.” category – lk as in talk, qu- as in queen

Variant vowelsThis term refers to the various vowel patterns that can represent one vowel sound in morethan one way

• Vowel digraphs are combinations of vowels that represent one vowel sound such as longa (e.g., long a –ai as in rain /ay as in bay/a Consonant e as in cake/eigh as in eight)

• Diphthongs a combination of letters that creates a subtle glide from one vowel to anothersuch as oi/oy (boil/boy) and ou/ow (out/cow)

Layers of Phonics Continuum Details

Syllable Patterns• A Closed syllable ends in at least one consonant; the vowel is short (e.g., pan, shot, milk,

magnet)• An Open syllable ends in one vowel; the vowel is long (e.g. so, he )• A VCe (Silent e) syllable ends in one vowel, one consonant, and a final e. The final e is

silent and the vowel is long. ( e.g. make, pipe, shine)• An R controlled syllable has an r after the vowel; the vowel makes an unexpected sound.

(e.g. car, dirt, turtle)• A Vowel Team syllable has two adjacent vowels. Each vowel team syllable must be

learned individually (e.g. sail, boat, moon, boy)• A Final Stable syllable has a consonant –le combination or a nonphonetic but reliable

unit such as –tion. The accent usually falls on the syllable before the final syllable.(puzzle, candle, contraction, picture).

Structural AnalysisKnowledge of morpheme structures is also a structural analysis skill. It is also referredto as advanced phonics or advanced decoding.

• Compound words sunshine, homesick• Inflectional endings indicate or change tense, possession, comparison or number, e.g. –s,

-ed, -ing (Harris & Hodges, 1995, p. 116 )• Prefixes are important to know for reading, spelling, and vocabulary acquisition. A

prefix is a morpheme attached to the beginning of the base or root word that creates anew word with changed meaning or function.

• Base/root words a word or the main part of a word (struct is the root of destructive) thataffixes are added to form a new word, they are taken from Anglo-Saxon, Latin and Greek(e.g., port meaning ‘to carry’ in Latin)

• Derivational suffixes – a suffix added to a base or root that forms another word that isoften a different part of speech from the base or root such as –ful in hopeful.

• Chameleon Prefixes – a chameleon prefix is a prefix in which the final letter of theprefix changes due to assimilation with the first letter of the base element (e.g. con-becomes a chameleon prefix in collect, correct, and combine) – These are also sometimesreferred to as assimilated prefixes (definition taken directly from Henry, 2003, p.286)
