1. Letter Recognition & Sound Correspondence

Children can now identify and match both uppercase and lowercase letters.

They know basic letter sounds (phonemes) for all 26 letters, including:

Initial consonants (e.g., s, t, p, n, c, k)

Short vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u)

2. Blending and Segmenting

They can blend two or more sounds to say a word (e.g., c-a-t → cat).

They can segment heard words into individual sounds.

Using tools like the Elkonin box, students have practiced finger-spelling to isolate and write words.

3. Reading Patterns & Rules

Students are familiar with these phonics rules and patterns:

CVC words (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant): cat, map, pig

Magic 'e' (silent e/VCe) rule: cake, bike, rose, tube

Double consonant “Floss Rule”: glass, buzz, spill

Initial consonant blends: e.g.

s-blends: smell, stop, skip

l-blends: flip, clap, plug

r-blends: frog, trap, grip

w-blends: swim, twist

Vowel digraphs:

oo (long and short): moon, book

ea, ee, oa, ow: goat, feet, slow, throw

4. Consonant Digraphs & Soft Sounds

Recognition and pronunciation of:

/sh/, /ch/, /th/, /wh/, /ng/ sounds: ship, chin, them, when, sing

Soft ‘c’ and ‘g’ sounds: city, gem

Word endings: -ck, -dge, -tch

Practice spelling – review weekly spelling lists and patterns.

Read aloud daily – encourage children to read books with predictive patterns and phonics-based readers.

Phonics games – e.g., matching sounds, word building with letter cards.

Reinforce sight words – use flashcards and frequent reading to solidify high-frequency vocabulary.
