What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students listen for each sound in a single-syllable word and write matching letters in the correct order. They spell words alone and within short sentences, including taught common words.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can stretch a word, identify each sound, and write the letters in order. The student keeps both consonants in blends and clusters and spells taught common words correctly.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may write only the strongest sounds, leaving out a consonant in stop, hand, or plant. They may forget silent e in like or add it to short-vowel words.
How to Assess It
- For an exit ticket, dictate at, map, like, ask, stop, hand, and plant. Then dictate, “I like the red plant.”

Ways to Teach It
Use letter tiles to build at, map, like, ask, stop, hand, and plant, then have students copy each word.
Ask, “What changes in cap when we make it cape?” Students explain the vowel change and write both words.
Play spelling bingo with teacher-dictated words that include blends, final clusters, short vowels, and silent e.
Have students label a classroom map with desk, clock, plant, shelf, and gate, then read the labels to a partner.
