01

What Students Need to Do

Students name letters and say their sounds without a long pause. They read simple text accurately and tell what they read.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student quickly names familiar letters and gives their sounds. They point to each word in a short sentence, read it aloud, and answer a question about it.

03

Common Misconceptions

Some students say a letter's name when asked for its sound. Others guess a word from the picture or skip words to read faster.

04

How to Assess It

Show the letter cards s, a, m, t, and p. Ask the student to name each letter, say its sound, read “Sam sat,” and answer, “Who sat?”

1. 01

   Give students letter tiles to build “Pam sat,” then have them point to each word and read the sentence aloud.

2. 02

   Ask partners to read “Sam sat” twice, then discuss which reading was easier to understand and why.

3. 03

   Put letter cards in a bag; students draw one and keep it when they can name it and say its sound.

4. 04

   Place a “mat” sign on a classroom mat; students read the sign, then find and stand on the mat.
