Kindergarten

  RF.K.1  Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic features of print.

a. Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page.

b. Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters.  

c. Understand that words are separated by spaces in print.

d. Recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet

RF.K.2. Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes). 

a. Recognize and produce rhyming words. 

b. Count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words. 

c. Blend and segment onsets and rimes of single-syllable spoken words. 

d. Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.* (This does not include CVCs ending with /l/, /r/, or /x/.) 

e. Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words.

 f. Blend two to three phonemes into recognizable words. CA

RF.K.3. Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words both in isolation and in text. CA 

a. Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary sounds or many of the most frequent sounds for each consonant. 

b. Associate the long and short sounds with common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels. (Identify which letters represent the five major vowels [Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, and Uu] and know the long and short sound of each vowel. More complex long vowel graphemes and spellings are targeted in the grade 1 phonics standards.) CA 

c. Read common high-frequency words by sight (e.g., the, of, to, you, she, my, is, are, do, does). 

d. Distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ.

W.K.1 Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose opinion pieces in which they tell a reader the topic or the name of the book they are writing about and state an opinion or preference about the topic or book. 

W.K.2  Use a combination of drawing, dictation, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic.

4. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities: connect counting to cardinality.

B. Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted.  The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.

3. Know number names and the count sequence.

Write numbers from 0-20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).

5.Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from. Fluently add and subtract within 5

Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value,

1. Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g. by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18=10+8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
