What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do

What Mastery Looks Like

Common Misconceptions
- Students may guess from first letter or sentence pattern. They may confuse visually similar common words.
How to Assess It
- Show ten common high-frequency words in mixed order, then five within sentences. Ask the student to read both sets.
