B.     Phonological Awareness (oral language activities)
  By the end of Kindergarten, students will:
 

 1.         Demonstrate understanding that spoken words consist of sequences of phonemes.
 

 2.         Demonstrate phonemic awareness by rhyming, clapping syllables, and substituting sounds.
 

 3.         Understand that the sequence of letters in a written word represents the sequence of sounds (phonemes) in a spoken word (alphabetic principle).
 

 4.         Learn many, though not all, one-to-one letter-sound correspondences.
   5.         Given a spoken word, produce another word that rhymes with it.
  Building upon knowledge and skills gained in preceding grades, by the end of Grade 1, students will:
  1.         Demonstrate understanding of all sound- symbol relationships.
  2.         Blend or segment the phonemes of most one-syllable words.
  3.         Listen and identify the number of syllables in a word.
  4.         Merge spoken segments into a word.
  5.         Add, delete, or change sounds to change words (e.g., cow to how, cat to can).
  Building upon knowledge and skills gained in preceding grades, by the end of Grade 2, students will:
  1.         Add, delete, or change middle sounds to change words (e.g., pat to put).
  2.         Use knowledge of letter-sound correspondences to sound out unknown words.
  Building upon knowledge and skills gained in preceding grades, by the end of Grade 3, students will:
 

1.      Demonstrate a sophisticated sense of sound-symbol relationship, including all phonemes (e.g., blends, digraphs, dipthongs)
