c. Tracks text read from left to right and top to bottom.

d. Distinguishes among written letters, words, and sentences.

e. Recognizes that sentences in print are made up of separate words.

PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS

ELAKR2 The student demonstrates the ability to identify and orally manipulate

words and individual sounds within those spoken words.

a. Identifies and produces rhyming words in response to an oral prompt and distinguishes rhyming and non-rhyming words.

b. Identifies component sounds (phonemes and combinations of phonemes) inspoken words.

c. Blends and segments syllables in spoken words.

d. Segments the phonemes in high frequency words.

e. Blends spoken phonemes to make high frequency words.

PHONICS

ELAKR3 The student demonstrates the relationship between letters and letter combinations of written words and the sounds of spoken words.

a. Demonstrates an understanding that there are systematic and predictable relationships between print and spoken sounds.

b. Recognizes and names all uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet.

c. Matches all consonant and short-vowel sounds to appropriate letters.

d. Blends individual sounds to read one-syllable decodable words.

e. Applies learned phonics skills when reading words and sentences in stories.

FLUENCY

ELAKR4 The student demonstrates the ability to read orally with speed, accuracy,and expression.

a. Writes or dictates to describe familiar persons, places, objects, or experiences.

b. Uses drawings, letters, and phonetically spelled words to create meaning.

c. Accurately prints name, all uppercase and lowercase letters of the

alphabet, and teacher-selected words.

d. Uses left-to-right pattern of writing.

e. Begins to use capitalization at the beginning of sentences and punctuation (periods and question marks) at the end of sentences.

LISTENING/SPEAKING/VIEWING

ELAKLSV1 The student uses oral and visual skills to communicate.

a. Listens and speaks appropriately with peers and adults.

b. Follows two-part oral directions.

c. Repeats auditory sequences (letters, words, numbers, and rhythmic patterns).

d. Recites short poems, rhymes, songs, and stories with repeated patterns.

e. Describes people, places, things, locations, and actions.

f. Increases vocabulary to reflect a growing range of interests and knowledge.

g. Communicates effectively when relating experiences and retelling stories heard.

h. Uses complete sentences when speaking.

i. Begins to use subject-verb agreement and tense correctly.


Kindergarten Mathematics

NUMBERS AND OPERATIONS

MKN1 Students will connect numerals to the quantities they represent.

a. Count a number of objects up to 30.

b. Produce models for number words through ten.

c. Write numerals through 20 to label sets.

d. Sequence and identify using ordinal numbers (1st-10th).

e. Compare two or more sets of objects (1-10) and identify which set is equal to, more than, or less than the other.

f. Estimate quantities using five and ten as benchmarks. (e.g., 9 is one five and four more. It is closer to two fives or one 10 than it is to one five.).

g. Use informal strategies to share objects equally (divide) between two to three people or sets.

h. Identify coins by name and value (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter).

i. Count out pennies to buy items that together cost less than 30 cents.

j. Make fair trades involving combinations of pennies and nickels or pennies and dimes.

MKN2 Students will use representations to model addition and subtraction.

a. Use counting strategies to find out how many items are in two sets when theyare combined.

b. Build number combinations up to 10 (e.g., 4 and 1, 2 and 3, 3 and 2, 4 and 1

for five) and for doubles to 10 (3 and 3 for six).

c. Use objects, pictures, numbers, or words to create, solve, and explain story problems for two numbers that are each less than 10.

MEASUREMENT

MKM1 Students will group objects according to common properties such as color,

shape, texture, or number.

a. Compare and order objects on the basis of length.

b. Compare and order objects on the basis of capacity.

c. Compare and order objects on the basis of height.

d. Compare and order objects on the basis of weight.

MKM2 Students will understand the measurement of calendar time.

a. Know the names of the days of the week.

b. Know the months of the year.

c. Know the four seasons.

MKM3 Students will tell time as it relates to a daily schedule.

a. Order daily events.

b. Tell the time when daily events occur, such as lunch, to the nearest hour.

c. Know the name of the day of the week when weekly events occur in class.

GEOMETRY

MKG1 Students will correctly name simple two and three-dimensional figures, and

recognize them in the environment.

a. Recognize and name the following basic two-dimensional shapes: triangles, rectangles, squares, and circles.

b. Recognize and name the following three-dimensional shapes: spheres (balls ) and cubes.

c. Observe concrete objects in the environment and represent the objects using basic shapes, such as drawing a representation of a house using a square together with a triangle for the roof.
