RF Reading: Foundations
1st Grade Learning Outcome
1.RF.1 Develop an understanding of the five components of reading (print concepts, phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and fluency and comprehension) to build foundational reading skills.
Print Concepts
1.RF.2.3 Recognize the components of a sentence (e.g., capitalization, first word, ending punctuation).
1.RF.2.4 Learn and apply knowledge of alphabetical order.
Phonological Awareness
1.RF.3.2 Blend sounds, including consonant blends, to produce single- and multi-syllable words.
1.RF.3.3 Add, delete, or substitute sounds to change single-syllable words.
1.RF.3.4 Distinguish beginning, middle (medial), and final sounds in single-syllable words.
1.RF.3.5 Segment the individual sounds in one-syllable words.
Phonics
1.RF.4.1 Use letter-sound knowledge of single consonants (hard and soft sounds), short and long vowels, consonant blends and digraphs, vowel teams (e.g., ai) and digraphs, and r-controlled vowels to decode phonetically regular words (e.g., cat, go, black, boat, her), independent of context.
1.RF.4.2 Decode one-syllable words in the major syllable patterns (CVC, CVr, V, VV, VCe), independent of context.
1.RF.4.3 Apply knowledge of final –e and common vowel teams (vowel digraphs) for representing long vowel sounds.
1.RF.4.4 Recognize and read common and irregularly spelled high-frequency words by sight (e.g., have, said).
1.RF.4.5 Read words in common word families (e.g., -at, -ate).
1.RF.4.6 Read grade-appropriate root words and affixes including plurals, verb tense, comparatives (e.g., look, -ed, -ing, -s, -er, -est), and simple compound words (e.g., cupcake) and contractions (e.g., isn’t).
Fluency
1.RF.5 Orally read grade-level appropriate or higher texts smoothly and accurately, with expression that connotes comprehension at the independent level.
