Learning goals
- We are learning to use letters and sounds to spell words.
- We are learning to use letters and sounds, including onset and rime, to spell words.
- We are learning to read and write high frequency words and other familiar words.
- We are learning to orally blend and segment sentences, to segment words and manipulate phonemes in single-syllable words (phonological awareness).
- We are learning to orally blend and segment sentences and words and manipulate sounds in words.
- We are learning to blend sounds orally to read and write CVC words.
