- our new students to identify both consonant sounds and the short vowel sounds
- our new students to identify ALL of the Kindergarten sight words, both in isolation and in print
- our new students to blend 3 sounds together to make a CVC word
- our new students to read 3 word sentences
- our new students to print uppercase letters, along with the corresponding lowercase letters
