 * **􀀹** ** ** 0101.1.1 Identify and use adjectives (i.e., descriptive), nouns (i.e., singular and plural, possessive), pronouns (i.e., substitution for nouns), and verbs (i.e., tense, subject-verb agreement) correctly. **

 * <span style="font-family: Wingdings,Wingdings;">**􀀹** ** **0101.1.9** ** Spell simple words using developing phonetic knowledge, sounds of the alphabet, and simple consonant/vowel patterns. **
 * ** Spell high frequency words correctly (e.g., Dolch list, Dr. Fry list). **
 * ** Spell three and four letter short and long vowel words, using basic CVC, CVCE, and CVVC patterns. **
 * ** Alphabetize words to the first letter. **
 * 􀀹** **0101.1.10** ** Show evidence of expanding language through vocabulary growth. **
 * ** Build vocabulary by reading, listening to, and discussing a variety of literature. **
 * ** Use word families and word walls. **
 * ** Read high frequency words in context. **
 * ** Recognize and identify compound words, synonyms, and antonyms. **
 * ** Identify positional words (e.g., inside, outside, beside, between). **
 * ** Identify simple multi-meaning words in context (e.g., fly, pop, bat). **

**Phonemic Awareness**
 * <span style="font-family: Wingdings,Wingdings;">**􀀹** ** **0101.1.11** ** Maintain phonemic awareness. **
 * ** Understand that a phoneme is one distinct sound. **
 * ** Use sound stretching of one syllable words to identify each phoneme. **
 * ** Use sound blending of each separately spoken phoneme to make meaningful words. **
 * ** Segment one-syllable words into individual sounds and blend the sounds into whole words. **
 * ** Recognize and produce rhyming words. **
 * ** Recognize words that have the same beginning, middle, and ending sounds. **
 * ** Understand words are made up of one or more syllables (e.g., students clap syllables, move objects, etc. in words.) **
 * ** Substitute targeted sounds to change words (e.g., bed to bad, hat to bat). **
 * ** Change the letters of a given word to create new words (e.g., pan to nap, tent to net). **

**Phonics**
 * <span style="font-family: Wingdings,Wingdings;">**􀀹** ** **0101.1.12** ** Apply phonics generalizations in order to decode words. **
 * ** Name all upper and lowercase letters of the alphabet. **
 * ** Understand that the sequence of letters in a written word represents the sequence of sounds in a word. **
 * ** Use letter-sound matches and structural analysis to decode grade level words. **
 * ** Use parts of words (e.g., root/base words, compound words, contractions, prefixes, suffixes) to decode grade level words. **
 * ** Apply long and short vowel rules when decoding text. **
 * ** Use sounding out words, chunking words into smaller parts, looking for blends, digraphs, word families, etc. as a means of decoding unfamiliar words. **
 * ** Continue to decode unknown words that are grade-level appropriate. **
