Unpacked Content
Knowledge
Student know:
- Spoken words can be represented in print by using letter symbols (graphemes) to represent sounds (phonemes).
- Printed words can be read by saying the sound (phoneme) that is represented by the letter symbols (graphemes).
- Multisyllabic words contain more than one syllable, and multisyllabic words can be constructed by combining individual syllables.
- Syllable division is breaking words apart by the syllables.
- Decode means to read, and encode means to spell.
- Decoding and encoding in isolation means reading or spelling a single word, while in context refers to these skills within a larger text.
Skills
Students are able to:
- Read and spell words accurately in isolation and in context based on their knowledge of phoneme-grapheme relationships, multisyllabic word construction, and syllable division principles.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- To read (decode), they must accurately say the sounds (phonemes) that are represented by the letter symbols (graphemes).
- To spell (encode), they must accurately represent the letter symbols (graphemes) that correspond to the spoken sounds (phonemes).
- They can use syllable division principles to accurately decode and encode words.
- They can use their knowledge of the six syllable types to accurately decode and encode words.
- They will sometimes use these skills in isolation, and other times in context when reading or writing a longer text.
