Foundational Skills
Phonics and Word Recognition Know and apply grade level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. a) identify and know the meaning of the most common prefixes and derivational suffixes. b) decode words with common Latin suffixes. c) decode multi syllable words. d) read grade appropriate irregularly spelled words.
Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessments
a) Prefixes assessment pg. 233 and 234 b) Latin Suffixes assessment pgs. 231-232 c) Syllables in Longer Words assessment pg. 244
***This is used for decoding multisyllabic words as well as syllables 1. Students read the words aloud on the list 2. Teacher highlights the words the student decodes correctly 3. Student independently determines the syllable count and breaks for the highlighted words
(More to be determined in Benchmark training, summer 2012)
Fluency Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension. a) read on level text with purpose and understanding. b) read on level prose and poetry orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings. c) use context to confirm or self-correct word recognition and understanding, rereading as necessary.
