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

• K.F.PA.6.a

  Isolate and pronounce initial, final, and then medial sounds in spoken words with three phonemes.

• K.F.PA.6.b

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

• K.F.PA.6.c

• K.F.PA.6.d

  Add, delete, and substitute phonemes in spoken one-syllable words with up to three phonemes.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students listen closely to spoken words and notice each separate sound. They blend sounds into words, break words apart, and change sounds to make new words.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can tell where a sound occurs in a short word. The student can blend and separate sounds, then make a new word by adding, removing, or changing one sound.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may name letters instead of saying their sounds. They may count syllables rather than separate sounds, or treat a blend like /st/ as one sound.

04

How to Assess It

Say “map.” Ask the student to name the first sound, then change /m/ to /t/ and say the new word.

1. 01

   Give students counters and sound boxes, then have them push one counter for each sound they hear in words like sun, map, and fish.

2. 02

   Ask, “How are map and mop different?” Have partners say both words and explain which sound changed.

3. 03

   Play Sound Switch by saying a word and naming one sound to replace, such as changing /m/ in map to /t/.

4. 04

   Sort classmates’ names or classroom objects by their first sounds, then name another word that begins with each sound.
