LEARNING STANDARDS INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE

Common Core Standards

Language Arts

CCSSL.K.1a

Print many upper- and lowercase letters.

CCSSRF.K.1c

Understand that words are separated by spaces in print.

CCSSRF.K.1d

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

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.3

Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.

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.

CCSSRI.K.7

With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (e.g., what person, place, thing, or idea in the text an illustration depicts).

CCSSSL.K.4

Describe familiar people, places, things, and events and, with prompting and support, provide additional detail.

CCSSSL.K.5

Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail.

CCSSW.K.2

Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic.

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.CC.B.4c

Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.

CCSSK.CC.B.5

Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
