Reading Standards for Foundational Skills:
- RF.1a: Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page.
- RF.1b: Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters.
- RF.1c: Understand that words are separated by spaces in print.
- RF.1d: Recognize and name all upper- and lower-case letters of the alphabet.
- RF.2a: Recognize and produce rhyming words.
- RF.2b: Count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words.
- RF.2c: Blend and segment onsets and rimes of single-syllable spoken words.
- RF.2d: Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (CVC) words.
- RF.2e: Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words.
- RF.3b: Associate the long and short sounds with the common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.
Reading Standards for Listening and Speaking:
- SL.1a. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others and taking turns speaking about the topics and texts under discussion).
- SL.2 Confirm understanding of a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting clarification if something is not understood.
Reading Standards for Language:
- L.1.c: Form regular plural nouns orally by adding /s/ or /es/ (e.g., dog, dogs; wish, wishes).
- L.1.d: Understand and use question words, e.g., who, what, where, when, why, how).
- L.2a: Capitalize the first word in a sentence and the pronoun I.
- L.2b: Recognize and name end punctuation.
- L.2c: Write a letter or letters for most consonant and short vowel sounds.
- L.2d: Spell simple words phonetically, drawing on knowledge of sound/letter relationships.
- L.5a: Sort common objects into categories (e.g., shapes, foods) to gain a sense of the concepts of the categories present.
Math
- CC.3a: Write numbers from 0-20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects.)
- CC.4a: When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.
- CC.4b: Understand that the last number said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.
- CC.4c: Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.
- CC.5: Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
- CC.6: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.
- CC.7: Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
- MD.3b: Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.
- G1: Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
- G2: Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientation or overall size.
- G3: Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid").
- OA1: Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds, acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
- OA2: Solve addition and subtraction word problems (sums to 20), and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
