Kindergarten
- K.1.1.1 ▲identifies sounds of both upper and lower case letters of the alphabet (Letter-sound Relationships).
- K.1.1.2 ▲identifies names of both upper and lower case letters of the alphabet.
- K.1.1.3 distinguishes letters from words by recognizing that words are separated by spaces.
- K.1.1.4 ▲demonstrates phonemic awareness skills by hearing and orally manipulating sounds (e.g., ▲phoneme isolation, ▲identification, ▲categorization, blending, segmentation, deletion, addition, substitution). (Phonemic Awareness)
- K.1.1.5 identifies and makes oral rhymes and begins to hear onsets and rimes (e.g., alliteration, intonation). (Phonological Awareness)
- K.1.1.6 ▲demonstrates an understanding of graphemes and phonemes (i.e., sound-symbol relationships) in written and spoken language. (Phonics)
First Grade
- 1.1.1.1 identifies sounds of both upper and lower case letters of the alphabet. (Letter-sound Relationships)
- 1.1.1.2 ▲ identifies names of both upper and lower case letters of the alphabet.
- 1.1.1.3 identifies and distinguishes between letters, words, and sentences.
- 1.1.1.4 ▲ identifies and manipulates phonemes in spoken words (e.g., phoneme isolation, identification, categorization, ▲blending, ▲segmentation, ▲deletion, ▲addition, ▲substitution). (Phonemic Awareness)
- 1.1.1.5 ▲ identifies onsets and rimes in spoken words (e.g., alliteration, intonation, rhyme). (Phonological Awareness).
- 1.1.1.6 ▲ uses knowledge of letter-sound correspondences (e.g., ▲consonant-vowel patterns, blends, ▲digraphs, word families) when reading unknown words. (Phonics)

Second Grade
- 2.1.1.1 manipulates onsets and rimes in spoken syllables. (Phonological Awareness)
- 2.1.1.2 ▲ uses knowledge of developmentally appropriate decoding skills (e.g., ▲consonant-vowel combinations, ▲blends, digraphs, ▲word families) when reading unknown words. (Phonics)
