  11. Decode and encode words with vowel y in the final position of one and two syllable words, distinguishing the difference between the long /?/ sound in one-syllable words and the long /?/ sound in two-syllable words, and words with vowel y in medial position, producing the short /?/ sound for these words.
    Examples: fly, my; baby, happy; myth, gym
  12. Decode words with silent letter combinations.
    Examples: kn, mb, gh
  13. Decode and encode words with prefixes and suffixes, including words with dropped e and y-to-i changes for suffix addition.
    Examples: pro-, trans-, non-, mid-; -ful, -less, -ness, -ed, ing, -es, -er, -est, -en, -y, -ly
  14. Decode and encode grade-appropriate high frequency words that are spelled using predictable, decodable phoneme-grapheme correspondences, including those that contain only one irregularity.
