• ELA.612.F.2.4

  Read grade-level texts, at the student’s ability level, with accuracy, automaticity, and prosody or expression using the student’s mode of communication.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students use syllables, roots, prefixes, suffixes, and context to decode unfamiliar words. They read grade-level text accurately, smoothly, and with attention to meaning.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students break unfamiliar words into useful parts, pronounce them accurately, and use context to confirm meaning. They read grade-level passages at a steady pace with phrasing that supports understanding.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may guess a word from its first letter or skip it when reading aloud. They may split syllables in the wrong places or assume a prefix or suffix always has one meaning.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a short paragraph containing the word “miscommunication.” Ask them to mark its word parts, read the paragraph aloud, and explain the word in context.

1. 01

   Build words with prefix, root, and suffix cards, then have students read each word aloud and explain how the parts help.

2. 02

   Display “reconsideration” and ask students to write how they would break it apart, pronounce it, and determine its meaning.

3. 03

   Play a syllable relay where teams divide word cards, read the words aloud, and earn points for accurate explanations.

4. 04

   Have students find unfamiliar words in menus, product directions, or news headlines, then mark word parts and use context to explain them.
