Unit 1, Weeks 1–4 Welcome to Kindergarten!•Reading Street Common Core introduces

alphabetic knowledge and establishes classroom routines for the foundational skills of the Common Core State Standards.

Unit 1, Week 5 An Explicit, Systematic Scope and Sequence•Segmenting and Blending begins with

the introduction of consonants Mm/m/ and Tt/t/, and Short a.

•As required in the Common Core Foundational Skills, children will associate long and short vowel sounds with common spellings for the five major vowels. Throughout the year, whenever a short vowel is introduced, a long vowel is also introduced.

Unit 6—Ready for First Grade!By the end of Unit 5, all content in the Kindergarten scope and sequence has been covered. Students have learned to:

•Demonstrate basic letter-sound correspondences by producing the most frequent sounds for each consonant.

•Associate the long and short sounds with the common spellings for the five major vowels.

•Demonstrate phonemic awareness and understanding of spoken words, syllables and sounds.

•Demonstrate the ability to read common high-frequency words by sight.

Unit 6 is devoted to authentic practice and application of these Kindergarten skills in preparation for Grade 1, where students will develop and add to their skills as required in the Common Core State Standards.

Grade 1

Welcome Back!

Grade 1 Readiness UnitProvides an optional review of Kindergarten.

Units 2–6Following Unit 1, students engage in rigorous and authentic practice and application with grade-level Phonemic Awareness and Phonics. By the end of Grade 1, students have learned and been assessed on:

•Knowing spelling-sound correspondences for common consonant digraphs.

•Decoding regularly spelled one-syllable words.

•Knowing final vowel -e and common vowel team conventions for representing long vowel sounds.

•Using knowledge that every syllable must have a vowel sound to determine number of syllables in a printed word.

•Decoding basic-patterned two-syllable words by breaking into syllables.

•Reading words with inflectional endings.

•Recognizing and reading grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words.

Grade 2In Grade 2, instruction continues to focus on sound-letter relationships. Mid-year, a shift occurs toward word study and word analysis, creating a smooth transition to Grade 3 and beyond. By the end of Grade 2, students have learned and been assessed on:

•Distinguishing long and short vowels when reading regularly spelled one-syllable words.

•Knowing spelling-sound correspondences for common vowel teams.

•Decoding regularly spelled two-syllable words with long vowels.

•Decoding words with common prefixes and suffixes.

•Identifying words with inconsistent but common spelling-sound correspondences.

•Recognizing and reading grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words.
