Spanish Language Arts and Reading.K.2.A.ix

The student is expected to

demonstrate phonological awareness by:

 

manipulating syllables within a multisyllabic word;

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.”

Foundational Skills

Students develop and sustain basic skills related to the four domains of language. Students apply foundational knowledge to improve listening, speaking (oral language), reading (beginning reading, self-sustained reading, vocabulary, and fluency), and writing (beginning writing) skills.

SLA.K.1.A

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

SLA.K.1.B

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

SLA.K.2.A.i

identifying and producing rhyming words;

SLA.K.2.A.ii

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