Knowledge and Skills Statement

Developing and sustaining foundational language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking--beginning reading and writing. The student develops word structure knowledge through phonological awareness, print concepts, phonics, and morphology to communicate, decode, and spell.

En equipos de trabajo, los estudiantes reciben tarjetas con palabras que contienen hiatos formales y acentuados. Toman turnos para leerlas, primeramente, en sílabas y después toda la palabra. Junto con el maestro, identifican las reglas ortográficas para dividir las palabras en sílabas y combinarlas correctamente poniendo especial atención a la vocal que se acentúa. Cada estudiante toma turnos para leer las palabras que trabajaron en su equipo. Tome nota de la participación de los estudiantes.


Further Explanation

Los estudiantes identifican las distintas combinaciones de sílabas que forman hiatos. Aplican las reglas ortográficas para dividirlas añadiéndoles el acento gráfico en la vocal correspondiente cuando sea un hiato acentuado. Demuestran que pronuncian correctamente la combinación de vocales marcando apropiadamente la sílaba tónica.

Both decoding and encoding skills are needed to build a foundation in reading. Decoding is the process of translating written speech into verbal speech sounds by applying knowledge of letter-sound correspondences. In reading, this concept refers to word identification rather than word comprehension. Encoding is the process of using letter-sound knowledge to write or spell words. Students must understand the various spelling patterns and rules of the Spanish language to correctly construct words in their writing. It is important that students apply these rules consistently instead of using invented spelling because they may unknowingly write a word that is real but that they did not intend, causing confusion for their reader.
Students should be able to spell words that have diphthongs. A diphthong is sound formed by combining a strong vowel (a, e, o) and a weak vowel (i, u) in a single syllable. For example, ai-re, puer-ta, cue-llo, vien-to. Diphthongs are always part of the same syllable.
Students should be able to spell words that have hiatuses. A hiatus refers to two adjacent vowels within a word that do not belong to the same syllable. Hiatuses may be formal or accented. A formal hiatus is composed of two strong vowels (a, e, o). For example, tra-er, po-e-ma, ca-os. An accented hiatus is composed of a weak vowel (i, u) and a strong vowel (a, e, o); however, the weak vowel must have a written accent: rí-o, pa-ís, ba-úl, re-ú-no.
Conjunto de dos vocales diferentes que se pronuncia en una sola sílaba (por ej., /ai/ en aire, /ue/ en bueno, /oi/ en oigan).
Unión de dos vocales consecutivas que se pronuncian en sílabas diferentes (por ej., fi-de-o, ha-bí-a).
