Georgia 1.F.PA.6

1.F.PA.6 is a Georgia English Language Arts standard. These are the expectations under it.

• 1.F.PA.6.a

  Isolate and pronounce initial, medial, and final sounds in spoken one- syllable words, including words with digraphs and blends.

• 1.F.PA.6.b

  Distinguish between short and long vowel sounds in spoken one-syllable words.

• 1.F.PA.6.c

  Blend and segment up to five phonemes, including consonant blends and digraphs, in spoken words.

• 1.F.PA.6.d

  Add, delete, and substitute phonemes in spoken one-syllable words with three or more phonemes.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students hear and separate the beginning, middle, and ending sounds in spoken words. They blend sounds and add, remove, or replace one sound to make a new word.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can break ship into /sh/ /i/ /p/ and blend those sounds back into the word. The student can change map to mop, clap to cap, or sit to fit using oral prompts.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may count letters instead of sounds, so they treat the two letters in sh as two sounds. They may confuse syllables with individual sounds or add an extra vowel when separating consonants.

04

How to Assess It

Ask each student aloud: “Break fish into sounds. Blend /m/ /a/ /p/. Change the /m/ in map to /t/. What word?”

1. 01

   Give students three counters to push into boxes as they say each sound in words such as sun, fish, and map.

2. 02

   Ask, “How does changing the first sound in cat to /h/ change the word?” and have students explain their thinking aloud.

3. 03

   Play Sound Swap: say a word, name one sound to replace, and award a point when students make the new word.

4. 04

   Use classroom objects such as pen, cup, book, and chair for an oral sound hunt by beginning, middle, or ending sound.
