Kentucky Reading and Writing RF.1.4

RF.1.4 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• RF.1.4.a

  Read a variety of grade-level texts (including but not limited to decodables) with purpose and understanding.

• RF.1.4.d

  Read irregularly spelled high-frequency words with automaticity and accuracy.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students read first-grade stories and other short texts aloud accurately, at a steady pace, and with expression. They reread when a word sounds wrong or a sentence stops making sense. They read common words like said and was without pausing.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student reads a new first-grade passage and tells what happened. On a second reading, they pause at punctuation and read in phrases. They correct a misread word without a prompt.

03

Common Misconceptions

Some students guess a word from the picture without checking its letters. Others race past periods or read every line in a flat voice. They may try to sound out said each time they see it.

04

How to Assess It

Give each student this line: 'The pup was under the red hat in the shed, said Sam.' Listen to two readings for accurate words, phrasing, and corrections, then ask, 'Where was the pup?'

1. 01

   Give pairs sentence strips from a short story to arrange, then have them read the story aloud twice.

2. 02

   Read 'I lost my hat!' in a flat voice and then with feeling; ask students which reading shows how the speaker feels.

3. 03

   Put said, was, and they on cards; partners flip a card, read it, then find it in a short story.

4. 04

   Post a classroom note saying 'Put your coat away. Sit on the rug.' Have students reread it, then follow the directions.
