Decoding and Word Recognition 1.1 Recognize and use knowledge of spelling patterns (e.g., diphthongs, special vowel spellings) when reading. 1.2 Apply knowledge of basic syllabication rules when reading (e.g., vowel-consonant-vowel = su/per; vowel-consonant / consonant-vowel = sup/per). 1.3 Decode two-syllable nonsense words and regular multisyllable words. 1.4 Recognize common abbreviations (e.g., Jan., Sun., Mr., St.). 1.5 Identify and correctly use regular plurals (e.g., -s, -es, -ies) and irregular plurals (e.g., fly/flies, wife/wives). 1.6 Read aloud fluently and accurately and with appropriate intonation and expression.

2.0 Reading Comprehension Students read and understand grade-level-appropriate material. They draw upon a variety of comprehension strategies as needed (e.g., generating and responding to essential questions, making predictions, comparing information from several sources). The selections in Recommended Readings in Literature, Kindergarten Through Grade Eight illustrate the quality and complexity of the materials to be read by students. In addition to their regular school reading by grade four, students read one-half million words annually, including a good representation of grade-level-appropriate narrative and expository text (e.g., classic and contemporary literature, magazines, newspapers, online information). In grade two, students continue to make progress toward this goal. Structural Features of Informational Materials 2.1 Use titles, tables of contents, and chapter headings to locate information in expository text. This skill is not directly addressed in Spelling Workout. Comprehension and Analysis of Grade-Level-Appropriate Text 2.2 State the purpose in reading (i.e., tell what information is sought). 2.3 Use knowledge of the author's purpose(s) to comprehend informational text. 2.4 Ask clarifying questions about essential textual elements of exposition (e.g., why, what if, how). Activities in Spelling Workout do not focus on reading comprehension and analysis. 2.5 Restate facts and details in the text to clarify and organize ideas. 2.6 Recognize cause-and-effect relationships in a text. 2.7 Interpret information from diagrams, charts, and graphs. 2.8 Follow two-step written instructions. Each practice activity has one- or two-step written instructions. 3.0 Literary Response and Analysis Students read and respond to a wide variety of significant works of children's literature. They distinguish between the structural features of the text and the literary terms or elements (e.g., theme, plot, setting, characters). The selections in Recommended Readings in Literature, Kindergarten Through Grade Eight illustrate the quality and complexity of the materials to be read by students. Narrative Analysis of Grade-Level-Appropriate Text 3.1 Compare and contrast plots, settings, and characters presented by different authors. 3.2 Generate alternative endings to plots and identify the reason or reasons for, and the impact of, the alternatives. 3.3 Compare and contrast different versions of the same stories that reflect different cultures. 3.4 Identify the use of rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration in poetry. Activities in Spelling Workout do not focus on literary response and analysis. 3 CA English/Language Arts / MCP

Each lesson in the Teacher s Edition features a Writer s Corner activity linked to the topic of the lesson s introductory text. Each lesson in the Student Book includes a short writing exercise. Teachers may assess students writing legibility in the student books.
