  • Use reading and writing strategies for various purposes on their own initiative such as rereading, predicting, questioning and making connections when comprehension breaks down
  • Read and retell familiar stories
  • Read orally with reasonable fluency
  • Use letter-sound associations, word parts and context to identify new words
  • Identify short vowel and long vowel sounds
  • Match consonant sounds to their appropriate letters
  • Recognize and produce rhyming words
  • Read simple one- and two-syllable words such as cat
  • Read high-frequency words such as was and the
  • Recognize that words are separated by spaces
  • Read aloud first-grade books with accuracy and understanding
  • Begin to read aloud with expression and pausing at appropriate spots in the text
  • Use two-letter consonant blends to decode and spell single-syllable words such as sh and bl
  • Use word patterns to decode unfamiliar words
