Georgia 1.L.V.2

1.L.V.2 is a Georgia English Language Arts standard. These are the expectations under it.

• 1.L.V.2.a

  Identify frequently occurring root words (e.g., look) and inflectional endings used to form and comprehend new words (e.g., looks, looked, looking). (I)

• 1.L.V.2.c

  Construct words using frequently occurring root words and inflectional endings. (C)

01

What Students Need to Do

Students break familiar words into sounds, syllables, base words, endings, or compound-word parts. They combine those parts and use context or pictures to determine meaning.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can take apart a word such as “sunflowers” into “sun,” “flower,” and “s.” They can rebuild it, read it, and explain its meaning.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may split a word wherever they hear a pause instead of looking for useful parts. They may explain each part but not connect those parts to the whole word’s meaning.

04

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: Break “sunflowers” into parts. Write what each part tells you, then use the whole word in a sentence.

1. 01

   Give students word-part cards such as “rain,” “coat,” “play,” and “ground,” then have them build, read, and explain compound words.

2. 02

   Ask, “How does the meaning of playground change when we separate play and ground?” Have partners explain in one sentence.

3. 03

   Play a matching game where students pair base words with endings such as “s,” “ed,” or “ing,” then read the new words.

4. 04

   Collect compound words from classroom labels, signs, or lunch menus, then discuss how each smaller word helps explain the whole word.
