Standard

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3.A: Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary sound or many of the most frequent sounds for each consonant.

 

Description

• Mastery: Student is able to automatically produce the primary sound to each consonant grapheme.
• Acquiring: Student is able to produce primary sound to each consonant grapheme, with the aid of sound/spelling card and/or related association.

Probes

T: Look at these letters. Can you tell me the sound each letter makes?

 

Be sure to ask if he or she knows of another sound for the letters g and c. If it is incorrect, note the sound the student gives for each incorrect letter. If no sound is given, circle the letter. If the student cannot say the sound for three or more consecutive letters, say: Look at all of the letters and tell me which sounds you do know.

Considerations & Reminders

• Teachers must remember to immediately correct students if they mispronounce the sounds of any letter. Teachers and students should not add the schwa sound after consonants. Click here for correct pronunciation.
• Teachers should use regular words and pictures that have clear examples of the most common sound of each letter.
