A few people were wondering if what their children were doing was normal so I thought I'd use my son's Kindergarten report card to show what has to be known here by the end of the year. This might show you what most 5 year olds are learning. I'm just going to list everything: - Alphabet recognition (upper and lower case)
- letter sounds (haven't started yet this year)
- Sight words (haven't started yet): I, of, was, on, here, it, to, me, like, we, and, see, she, come, am, he, are, go, a, in, can, the, said, is, at, my, up, look, you, have
- Beginning sounds in words (start after winter break)
- recognize numbers 0-20
- rhyming words
- word awareness (awareness of words in a sentence)
- sound blending (blends sounds into a word)
- segments words (separates sounds in a word)
- identifies parts of a book
- identifies basic punctuation
- directionality (left, right, top, bottom)
- one-to-one matching (when asked to point to printed text as it is read orally)
- differentiates between letters, words and spacing in written text
- retells a story
- oral language (understands and uses age appropriate language)
- prints first and last name
- counts to 20
- knows basic colors
- identifies circle, square, triangle, rectangle
- sequences numerals 0 to 10
