Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students connect each printed letter with its sound. They say the sounds in order, then join them to read short words such as am, go, and map.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student says the sound for each letter in order and joins the sounds without guessing from the picture. The student can read unfamiliar two and three letter words with familiar sounds.
Common Misconceptions: Students may say letter names instead of sounds or add an extra vowel, such as saying “buh” for /b/. They may pause between sounds instead of joining them, or blend letters in the wrong order.
How to Assess It: Show the words am, go, and map. Ask each student to point under the letters, say the sounds in order, and read each word.

Lesson moves

Give students letter tiles for am, me, and sun; have them touch each tile, say each sound, then sweep and read the word.
Write “at” and ask, “What sound comes first, what comes next, and what word do they make together?”
Play Blend Bingo: call out sounds slowly, such as /m/ /a/ /p/, and students cover the matching printed word.
Place labels such as up, on, go, and bus around the room, then have students find and blend each label aloud.
