Reading Standards: Foundational Skills (K‐5) These standards are directed towards fostering students’ understanding and working knowledge of concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, and other basic conventions of the English writing system. These foundational skills are not an end in and of themselves; rather, they are necessary and important components of an effective, comprehensive reading program designed to develop proficient readers with the capacity to comprehend text across a range of types and disciplines. Instruction should be differentiated: good readers will need much less practice with these concepts than struggling readers will. The point is to teach students what they need to learn and not what they already know – to discern when particular children or activities warrant more or less attention.  Note: In kindergarten, children are expected to demonstrate increasing awareness and competence in the areas that follow.

Layers of Phonics Continuum Details

Layers of Phonics Continuum Details

Letter-sound correspondences:• Consonant letter names With letter names we are focusing on having students be able to

recognize and recall the names of upper and lowercase letters for consonants• Consonant letter sounds refers to consonants that are represented by a one to one

correspondence (e.g., m-> /m/)• Vowel letter names With letter names we are focusing on having students be able to

recognize and recall the names of upper and lowercase letters for vowels.• Short vowel sounds are often the first focus of vowel instruction with long vowel sounds

and the many ways they are represented in letter combinations being introduced later on.• Hard and soft c and g c and g are two letters that have hard and soft sounds. Hard c is

the sound /k/ when it is followed by an a, o, u as in cat, cot, cut and when it is followedby an e, i, y, it is the soft sound or /s/ as in city, cent, cycle and the same three lettersapply for hard g or the /g/ sound (gate, got, gum) and the soft sound is /j/ when followedby e, i, y, like in gem, giant, gym

• Multiple sounds of x and s – The letters x and s have multiple sounds - x has threesounds - /k/ as in excite, /k//s/ as in mix, and /g//z/ as in exit (with /k//s/ being the mostcommon) and s has the voiced and unvoiced sound and when it is voiced it becomes a /z/sound as in runs – when the consonant sound before the s is a voiced sound, then the /s/becomes voiced and makes the /z/ sound as in – bets (t is unvoiced) and then beds (d isvoiced and the s makes the /z/ sound)

Consonant Blends and Digraphs• Consonant digraphs two consonant letters that make one sound (e.g., sh -> /sh/)• Consonant blends two or more consonants adjacent to each other in a word, but each

retains its original sound (e.g., clip or strap)• Silent Letters in English we have some letters that are silent and come in certain patterns

and locations within words for example the kn- pattern has a silent K and usually comesat the beginning of the word or at least beginning of syllable (acknowledgement), anotherpattern with silent letters are –lk as in talk, -mb as in lamb which both usually come at theend of the word or syllable and the ‘h’ in ghost

• Oddities are low frequency patterns, or are exceptions to the typical patterns, somewhatof a “misc.” category – lk as in talk, qu- as in queen

Variant vowelsThis term refers to the various vowel patterns that can represent one vowel sound in morethan one way

• Vowel digraphs are combinations of vowels that represent one vowel sound such as longa (e.g., long a –ai as in rain /ay as in bay/a Consonant e as in cake/eigh as in eight)

• Diphthongs a combination of letters that creates a subtle glide from one vowel to anothersuch as oi/oy (boil/boy) and ou/ow (out/cow)

Page 122: FIRST GRADE TEACHERS READING - English Language …languageartsreading.dadeschools.net/pdf/ProfessionalDevelopment/... · DIVISION OF LANGUAGE ARTS/READING FIRST GRADE TEACHERS READING

Layers of Phonics Continuum Details

Syllable Patterns• A Closed syllable ends in at least one consonant; the vowel is short (e.g., pan, shot, milk,

magnet)• An Open syllable ends in one vowel; the vowel is long (e.g. so, he )• A VCe (Silent e) syllable ends in one vowel, one consonant, and a final e. The final e is

silent and the vowel is long. ( e.g. make, pipe, shine)• An R controlled syllable has an r after the vowel; the vowel makes an unexpected sound.

(e.g. car, dirt, turtle)• A Vowel Team syllable has two adjacent vowels. Each vowel team syllable must be

learned individually (e.g. sail, boat, moon, boy)• A Final Stable syllable has a consonant –le combination or a nonphonetic but reliable

unit such as –tion. The accent usually falls on the syllable before the final syllable.(puzzle, candle, contraction, picture).

Structural AnalysisKnowledge of morpheme structures is also a structural analysis skill. It is also referredto as advanced phonics or advanced decoding.

• Compound words sunshine, homesick• Inflectional endings indicate or change tense, possession, comparison or number, e.g. –s,

-ed, -ing (Harris & Hodges, 1995, p. 116 )• Prefixes are important to know for reading, spelling, and vocabulary acquisition. A

prefix is a morpheme attached to the beginning of the base or root word that creates anew word with changed meaning or function.

• Base/root words a word or the main part of a word (struct is the root of destructive) thataffixes are added to form a new word, they are taken from Anglo-Saxon, Latin and Greek(e.g., port meaning ‘to carry’ in Latin)

• Derivational suffixes – a suffix added to a base or root that forms another word that isoften a different part of speech from the base or root such as –ful in hopeful.

• Chameleon Prefixes – a chameleon prefix is a prefix in which the final letter of theprefix changes due to assimilation with the first letter of the base element (e.g. con-becomes a chameleon prefix in collect, correct, and combine) – These are also sometimesreferred to as assimilated prefixes (definition taken directly from Henry, 2003, p.286)

If you’re a platypus, you use your nose to dig in the mud. If you’re a hyena, you find your next meal with your nose. If you’re an elephant, you use your nose to give you a bath. If you’re a mole, you use your nose to find your way underground. If you’re an alligator, you breathe through your nose while hiding in the water.

If you’re a jackrabbit, you use your ears to keep cool. If you’re a bat you “see” with your ears. If you’re a cricket, you hear with ears that are on your knees. If you’re a humpback whale, you hear sounds hundreds of miles away. If you’re a hippopotamus, you close your ears when you’re under water.

If you’re a giraffe, you brush off pesky flies with your tail. If you’re a skunk, you lift your tail to warn that a stinky spray is on the way. If you’re a lizard, you break off your tail to get away. If you’re a scorpion, your tail can give a nasty sting. If you’re a monkey, you hang from a tree by your tail.

If you’re an eagle, you spot tiny animals from high in the air. If you’re a chameleon, you look two ways at once. If you’re a four-eyed fish, you look above and below the water at the same time. If you’re a bush baby, you use your large eyes to see clearly at night. If you’re a horned lizard, you squirt blood out of your eyes.

If you’re a chimpanzee, you feed yourself with your feet. If you’re a water strider, you walk on water. If you’re a blue-footed booby, you do a dance. If you’re a gecko, you use your sticky feet to walk on the ceiling. If you’re a mountain goat, you leap from ledge to ledge.

If you’re a pelican you use your mouth as a net to scoop up fish. If you’re an egg-eating snake, you use your mouth to swallow eggs larger than your head. If you’re a mosquito, you use your mouth to suck blood. If you’re an anteater, you capture termites with your long tongue. If you’re an archerfish, you catch insects by shooting them down with a stream of water.

Handout 19: Common Syllable Patterns (Page 1 of 3)

Common Syllable Patterns

Syllable Patterns Examples1. A closed syllable ends in at least

one consonant; the vowel isshort.

• pan• shot• magnet

2. An open syllable ends in onevowel; the vowel is long.

• so• tiger• he

3. A vowel-consonant-e syllableends in one vowel, one consonantand a final e. The final e is silentand the vowel is long.

(It is helpful for many students tolearn this pattern because of itsfrequency in many one-syllablewords.)

• make• pipe• shine

4. A vowel-r syllable has an r afterthe vowel; the vowel makes anunexpected sound.

(Vowels that are followed by r do notmake their common long or shortsound.)

• car• dirt• turtle

5. A vowel pair syllable has twoadjacent vowels. Each vowel pairsyllable must be learnedindividually.

(The generalization when two vowelsgo walking is only reliableapproximately half of the time.)

• sail• boat• feet• moon• boy

6. A final stable syllable has aconsonant-l-e combination or anonphonetic but reliable unitsuch as -tion. The accent usuallyfalls on the syllable before thefinal syllable. Final stablesyllables have unexpected butreliable pronunciations.

• puzzle• bubble• candle• contraction• picture
