The student is expected to

demonstrate and apply phonetic knowledge by:

A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AND READING.K.2.B.iii — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
demonstrate phonetic knowledge by recognizing that new words are created when letters are changed, added, or deleted such as it - pit - tip - tap
apply phonetic knowledge by recognizing that new words are created when letters are changed, added, or deleted such as it - pit - tip - tap

listen actively and ask questions to understand information and answer questions using multi-word responses;

ELA.K.1.B

restate and follow oral directions that involve a short, related sequence of actions;

ELA.K.2.A.i

identifying and producing rhyming words;

ELA.K.2.A.ii

recognizing spoken alliteration or groups of words that begin with the same spoken onset or initial sound;

ELA.K.2.C.i

spelling words with VC, CVC, and CCVC;

ELA.K.2.C.ii

spelling words using sound-spelling patterns; and

ELA.K.2.C.iii

spelling high-frequency words from a research-based list;
