4.ELAR.2.A
Demonstrate and apply phonetic knowledge by:: (i) Decoding words with specific orthographic patterns and rules, including regular and irregular plurals. (ii) Decoding multisyllabic words with closed syllables; open syllables; VCe syllables; vowel teams, including digraphs and diphthongs; r-controlled syllables; and final stable syllables. (iii) Decoding words using advanced knowledge of syllable division patterns such as VV. (iv) Decoding words using knowledge of prefixes. (v) Decoding words using knowledge of suffixes, including how they can change base words such as dropping e, changing y to i, and doubling final consonants. (vi) Identifying and reading high-frequency words from a research-based list.
