Georgia K.F.P.1

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

• K.F.P.1.a

  Identify and produce basic one-to-one phoneme-grapheme correspondences for the most frequently used sound for each consonant.

• K.F.P.1.b

  Identify and produce both long and short vowel sounds for A, E, I, O, U.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students connect spoken sounds with the letters that represent them. They say a letter’s sound, choose a letter for a heard sound, and use these links when reading or spelling simple words.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can see a taught letter and say its most common sound. They can also hear a sound in a simple word and choose or write the letter that represents it.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may say a letter’s name instead of its sound. They may rely on a picture’s first letter without stretching the word, or confuse similar sounds such as /b/ and /p/.

04

How to Assess It

Say /m/, /s/, and /t/ one at a time. Have each student point to the matching letter and then say its sound.

1. 01

   Give students magnetic letters, say /m/, /s/, and /t/, and have them place each matching letter under a picture.

2. 02

   Show a letter and ask, “What sound does it make, and what word begins with that sound?”

3. 03

   Play sound bingo with letter cards, calling phonemes instead of letter names for students to cover.

4. 04

   Search classroom labels for a target letter, then read each label aloud and listen for the matching sound.
