Virginia SOL 5.FFW.2

Apply grade-level word knowledge to spell words correctly.

What students need to be able to do

  • Use combined knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology (e.g., roots and affixes) to spell accurately.
  • Use phoneme-grapheme (sound/symbol) correspondences to decode (read) and encode (spell) grade-level high-frequency words with automaticity and accuracy.
