What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students connect each consonant letter with its most common sound. They say the sound for a shown letter and identify or write the letter for a spoken sound.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students say the usual consonant sound when shown a letter. They also select or write the correct consonant when they hear its sound.

Common Misconceptions

Students may say a letter name instead of its sound. They may confuse similar letters, such as b and d, or add an extra vowel to sounds like /b/.

How to Assess It

Show m, t, s, and p, then ask students to say each sound. Next, say /f/ and have students write the matching letter.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give students letter tiles, say a consonant sound, and have them hold up the matching tile.

  2. Show one consonant and ask, "What sound does it spell, and what word begins with that sound?"

  3. Play sound bingo using consonant letters on boards and spoken sounds as the calls.

  4. Hunt for consonants on classroom labels, then point to each letter and say its sound.
