Use and recognise the sounds, intonation and rhythms in the spoken language and learn how sounds and words relate to written language

[Key concepts: sound system, writing system, sound‒symbol correspondence, conventions; Key processes: listening, recognising, reading aloud]

Elaborations

recognising the sounds and syllables of familiar spoken words
learning with the visual support of writing how speech sounds join to form syllables, morphemes and complete words and phrases
learning that the writing system represent sounds and meanings, associating individual sounds or a range of sounds with particular letters and combinations of letters
recognising the letters of the alphabet and knowing that there are lower and upper-case letters and that letters are arranged from left to right
noticing that different languages may share similar speech sounds
using knowledge of sound–symbol correspondences to isolate and read syllables, morphemes and familiar words
recognising high-frequency sight words and morphemes
recognising special alphabetic conventions, for example, digraphs representing a single sound, diacritics that alter the regular value of a letter
using morphemes and syllabification to break up simple words and using visual memory to write more complex or less familiar words
checking for inclusion of relevant punctuation, including capital letters for sentence beginnings, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks
learning that written text in the language has conventions relating to words, spaces between words, layout on the page
using known words in writing and spelling new or less familiar words using developing visual and morphemic knowledge
reading texts aloud showing knowledge of sound–symbol relationships
