Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students say a familiar common word slowly, identify its sounds, and write the letters that represent those sounds. With a teacher prompt or sound cue, they check and correct the spelling.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can spell a taught set of common words from dictation and use them in a simple sentence. The student can point out the letters that match the sounds and remember any unexpected spelling.
Common Misconceptions: Students may write only the first letter, leave out a middle or final sound, or confuse a letter name with its sound. They may spell every word exactly as it sounds, writing the as thu.
How to Assess It: Say each word twice: can, we, see. Have students write each word, then choose one and point to the letters that show its sounds.

Lesson moves

Give students letter tiles to build can, we, and see, saying each sound as they place the matching letter or letters.
Ask, "What sounds do you hear in can, and which letters show them?" Record and compare student answers.
Play Word Detective: show three spellings of a taught word, then have students tap the correct one and explain a sound match.
Have students write a classroom message using I, see, and we, then reread it with a partner and check each common word.
