      • Expressing and developing ideas

      • Sound and letter knowledge

        • ACELA1458 – Recognise sound --- letter matches including common vowel and consonant digraphs and consonant blends

New Zealand – National Standards

  • Y1 – Year 1
    • Y1.R – Reading

      • They draw on knowledge and skills that include:

        • Y1.R.1 – Having all concepts about print under control

        • Y1.R.3 – Using their developing phonemic awareness to aurally identify and distinguish individual phonemes within words, for example, to blend phonemes (for example, by saying m/a/n/ is man) and to segment phonemes (for example, by saying seat is s/ea/t/)

        • Y1.R.4 – Identifying all letters by name and being able to produce an associated sound for each letter

        • Y1.R.8 – Applying their knowledge of vocabulary in order to understand words as they decode them and to make meaning at the sentence and whole-text level

        • Y1.R.6 – Decoding unfamiliar words by using their developing knowledge of grapheme-phoneme relationships, which enables them to:

          • Y1.R.6.a – Identify common graphemes (for example, sh, ch, ow, ai, th, oy) and produce an associated sound for each one

          • Y1.R.6.b – Apply the knowledge that letters can be pronounced in different ways (for example, about, and, apron)

          • Y1.R.6.c – Apply strategies such as: sounding out words; using knowledge of graphemes (for example, sh, aw, t, p, or); and using analogy to read words that contain familiar chunks (for example, est, en, ump)

    • Y1.W – Writing

      • They draw on knowledge and skills that include:

        • Y1.W.2 – Using their developing phonemic awareness to aurally segment words into syllables (e.g., win-dow, ham-bur-ger) and one-syllable words into individual phonemes (for example, b/a/n/d; sh/i/p)

        • Y1.W.3 – Using their developing visual memory to accurately write some key personal words and some high-frequency words1

        • Y1.W.4 – Encoding (spelling) unfamiliar words by using their developing knowledge of phoneme-grapheme relationships, which enables them to:

          • Y1.W.4.a – Recognise and write most sounds of English in at least one appropriate way (for example, s, t, ch, ow, k, f, oy)

          • Y1.W.4.b – Recognise that there can be different ways of representing the same sound (for example, phone/father; keep/cat)

          • Y1.W.4.c – Apply sound-letter relationships in order to write words they want to use (for example, catapulla)
