What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students create new spoken one-syllable words by changing, adding, or removing phonemes. They manipulate sounds orally without relying on print.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student changes sun to fun by replacing the first sound and stop to top by removing /s/. The remaining sounds stay in order.

Common Misconceptions

Students may change more than one sound or use letter names. They may produce a related word rather than following the sound direction.

How to Assess It

Say map and ask the student to change /m/ to /c/. Then ask them to remove /s/ from stop and add /s/ to top.
