GR. 3 - ORGANIZING IDEA: PHONICS
Foundational literacy is supported by understanding relationships between sounds in oral language and the letters that represent them.
Guiding Question: How does phonics support foundational literacy development?

Skills & Procedures |

Consonant clusters blend two or three consonant sounds.
Consonant clusters appear at the beginning and ending of words.
Consonant digraphs are two consonant letters that appear together and represent a single sound that is different from the sound of either letter (e.g., sh).
Some consonant letters represent no sound (e.g., know, write).
Chunking is a phonetic strategy used to decode that breaks large words into small parts.
Connections can be made between phonemes and graphemes, including consonant clusters and digraphs. |
Phonics supports the reading and writing of texts. |
Recognize consonant clusters at the beginning and ending of a word.
Recognize and apply less frequent consonant digraphs.
Recognize and apply consonant letters that represent no sounds.
Recognize and apply a wide variety of long and short vowel sounds when decoding unknown multisyllabic words.
Use phonetic strategies to decode complex words in continuous text. |
