- 1.3 The student will adapt or change oral language to fit the situation.
- This standard measures if the student can engage adults in a conversation, answers questions, follows the rules of conversation (taking turns talking, asking questions, answering questions, using appropriate voice volume, etc), and if the student can follow and give two step directions (ex: "First, walk to your chair. Then, sit down.").
- 1.4 The student will orally identify, produce, and manipulate units of speech sounds within words.
- This standard measures if your child can identify and create rhyming words, count the sounds in a word, blend sounds, segment words into parts, and add or remove sounds to words to make news one (s+hip is ship, take away the "h" and you have sip).
