LEARNING STANDARDS INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE

Common Core Standards

CCSSL.K.1a

Print many upper- and lowercase letters.

CCSSRF.K.1d

Recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet.

CCSSRF.K.2a

Recognize and produce rhyming words.

CCSSRF.K.2d

Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words. (This does not include CVCs ending with /l/, /r/, or /x/.)

CCSSRF.K.3a

Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary sound or many of the most frequent sounds for each consonant.

CCSSRF.K.3b

Associate the long and short sounds with common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.

CCSSRF.K.2

Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).

CCSSRF.K.2b

Count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words.

Math

CCSSK.CC.A.2

Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).

CCSSK.CC.A.3

Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).

CCSSK.CC.B.4

Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.

CCSSK.CC.B.4a

When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.

CCSSK.CC.B.4b

Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.

CCSSK.G.A.2

Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

CCSSK.G.B.5

Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
