An Integrated Approach to Learning the Alphabet
K.2.PWS.3 Students will produce the primary or most common sound for each consonant, short and long vowel sounds (e.g., c = /k/, c = /s/, s = /s/, s = /z/, x = /ks/, x = /z/).
K.2.PWS.4 Students will blend letter sounds to decode simple Vowel / Consonant (VC) and Consonant / Vowel / Consonant (CVC) words (e.g., VC words= at, in, up; CVC words = pat, hen, lot).
