Virginia SOL 1.FFR.3

1.FFR.3 is a Standards of Learning standard. These are the knowledge and skills expectations under it.

• 1.FFR.3.A

  Decode and encode words with short vowels to include blends with digraphs, closed syllables (CVC, CCVC, CVCC, CCVCC).

• 1.FFR.3.B

  Decode and encode words with long vowels, open syllables, (CV, CCV) and vowelconsonant-e (CVCE, CCVCE).

• 1.FFR.3.C

  Use letter-sound correspondences to decode words containing common vowel teams and rcontrolled vowels.

• 1.FFR.3.D

  Decode multisyllabic words following basic patterns by breaking the words into syllables.

• 1.FFR.3.E

  Read grade-level high-frequency words, including decodable and irregular words with automaticity and accuracy.

• 1.FFR.3.F

  Write grade-level high-frequency words with automaticity and accuracy.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students use sound-spelling patterns to read and write words with short vowels, long vowels, blends, digraphs, vowel teams, and r-controlled vowels. They split longer words into syllables and read each part. They quickly read and write common regular and irregular words.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student accurately reads and spells words such as ship, frog, cake, rain, and storm, and names the helpful pattern. The student splits sunset or robot into syllables and reads it smoothly. Common words such as said, come, and was are read and written without sounding out.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat every vowel as short, read cake as cack, or sound rain one letter at a time. They may split blends or digraphs incorrectly, miss silent e, or guess longer words from the first letter.

04

How to Assess It

Ask each student to read ship, frog, cake, rain, storm, robot, said, and come, then dictate frog, cube, star, sunset, and come.

1. 01

   Use letter tiles to build ship, frog, cake, rain, and storm, then have students change one tile and read each new word.

2. 02

   Display robot and sunset, then ask students to mark each syllable break and write how the vowels help them read the words.

3. 03

   Play Word Pattern Bingo using cards with short vowels, silent e, vowel teams, r-controlled vowels, and irregular words.

4. 04

   Give pairs a simple lunch menu and ask them to circle target patterns, read each item, and write a pretend order.

• 5.FFR.3

  Phonics and Word Analysis: The student will apply grade level phonics and word analysis skills to decode (read) unfamiliar words in grade level text.

• K.FFR.3

  The Kindergarten version of this standard.

• 2.FFR.3

  Phonics and Word Analysis: The student will apply phonetic principles to read and spell words. 

• 4.FFR.3

  Phonics and Word Analysis: The student will apply grade level phonics and word analysis skills to decode (read) unfamiliar words in grade level text.
