What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students read most common high-frequency words automatically by sight. They recognize the complete word in lists and connected text.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student reads common high-frequency words accurately in changing orders and sentences. Recognition does not depend on pictures or memorized sentence position.

Common Misconceptions

Students may guess from the first letter or context. They may confuse similar words such as there, three, and these.

How to Assess It

Show fifteen common high-frequency words in mixed order, then five within sentences. Ask students to read both sets.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  2. Ask students which part of a word must be remembered.

  3. Play Sight Word Grid with words moved to new positions each round.

  4. Read common words in schedules, notes, and classroom directions.
