understanding how to use sound–symbol relationships and knowledge of spelling rules, compound words, prefixes, suffixes, morphemes and sound changes

using knowledge of sound–symbol correspondences to read syllables and familiar words, phrases, sentences and extended texts out loud
identifying words from the language that have been borrowed by English, noting any difference in pronunciation that occurs as English words
paying attention to consistency in spelling, checking spelling using dictionaries and other standard sources
identifying different uses of commas in texts, including to separate clauses and items in a list
recognising and using alphabetic ordering as a storing and sorting device
noticing the role of parts of the mouth, nose and throat in the production of speech sounds
recognising the difference between vowels and consonants and the role of vowels in syllables
