What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify whether a mark on a page is a single letter, a complete word, a digit, or a picture. They sort and label examples correctly.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students correctly sort mixed examples into four groups and name each group. They can explain that a word uses letters and a graphic shows an image.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may call every printed mark a letter. They may confuse a single digit with a word or treat a picture as something to read letter by letter.
How to Assess It
- Give each student a card showing M, dog, 4, and a picture of a dog. Ask them to point to each type and name it.

Ways to Teach It
Give students mixed cards with single letters, short words, digits, and pictures to sort into four labeled hoops.
Show a page and ask, “Which marks can we name, which can we read, and which show a picture?”
Play four corners with areas labeled letter, word, digit, and picture, then have students move to match each displayed card.
Use a grocery ad and have students circle letters, box words, underline digits, and place stickers on pictures.
