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

• K.FFR.1.A

  Follow words from left to right and from top to bottom on a printed page, including the return sweep from line to line

• K.FFR.1.B

  Demonstrate knowledge of a sentence, word, and letter

• K.FFR.1.C

  Demonstrate knowledge that spoken words are represented in print and separated by spaces

• K.FFR.1.D

• K.FFR.1.E

  Identify the front cover, back cover and title of a text

• K.FFR.1.F

  Recognize the distinguishing features of a sentence (e.g., first word, capitalization, ending punctuation)

01

What Students Need to Do

Students track print from left to right, move down to the next line, and connect spoken words with separated printed words. They distinguish letters, words, and sentences and notice capitals and ending punctuation. They also name book parts and explain what authors and illustrators do.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students point to each word in order across two or more lines and make the return sweep without prompting. They identify book parts, explain the author’s and illustrator’s jobs, and locate letters, words, spaces, capitals, and ending marks.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may track each line correctly but forget to move back to the left for the next line. They may confuse a letter with a word, count punctuation as a word, or mix up the author and illustrator.

04

How to Assess It

Give each student a short printed page and ask, “Point to the title, track the words as I read, circle one word, and box the ending mark.”

1. 01

   Give students word cards to build a sentence, leaving finger spaces, then add a capital letter and ending punctuation.

2. 02

   Show a picture book and ask, “Who created the words, who created the pictures, and where can we find the title?”

3. 03

   Play Print Detective by having students find a letter, word, space, capital, and punctuation mark on a projected page.

4. 04

   Use a cereal box to identify the front, back, title, words, letters, spaces, and the direction used to read the print.
