      • 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.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)
