- (1) demonstrate phonological awareness by:
- (A) producing a series of rhyming words;
- (i) recognizing spoken alliteration or groups of words that begin with the same spoken onset or initial sound;
- (ii) distinguishing between long and short vowel sounds in one-syllable words;
- (iii) recognizing the change in spoken word when a specified phoneme is added, changed, or removed;
- (iv) blending spoken phonemes to form one-syllable words, including initial and/or final consonant blends;
- (v) manipulating phonemes within base words; and
- (vi) segmenting spoken one-syllable words of three to five phonemes into individual phonemes, including words with initial and/or final consonant blends;
- (vii) demonstrate and apply phonetic knowledge by:
- (B) decoding words in isolation and in context by applying
common letter sound correspondences;
- (i) decoding words with initial and final consonant blends, digraphs, and trigraphs;
- (ii) decoding words with closed syllables; open syllables; VCe syllables; vowel teams, including vowel digraphs and diphthongs; and r-controlled syllables;
- (iii) using knowledge of base words to decode common compound words and contractions;
- (iv) decoding words with inflectional endings, including -ed, -s, and -es; and
- (v) identifying and reading at least 100 high-frequency words from a research-based list;
- (vi) demonstrate and apply spelling knowledge by:
- (C) spelling words with closed syllables, open syllables,
VCe syllables, vowel teams, and r-controlled syllables;
- (i) spelling words with initial and final consonant blends, digraphs, and trigraphs;
- (ii) spelling words using sound-spelling patterns; and
- (iii) spelling high-frequency words from a research-based list;
- (iv) demonstrate print awareness by identifying the information that different parts of a book provide;
- (D) alphabetize a series of words to the first or second letter and use a dictionary to find words; and
