Cycle 102

102.1 Letter Combinations

This task requires students to read simple words containing ai and ay letter combinations after they identify the letter combination and its sound.

102.3 Irregulars

This is the first task in which students write eight words.

Students will write each word once, and they should copy it by looking at the word on the screen.

The act of writing these words ensures that students pay close attention to the form of each word, which will help the students recognize and read them with increasing ease.

From now on, both the Irregulars task and the Review task will require students to write. There will no longer be a separate Writing task at the end of each cycle.

102.4 Patterns -VCe

This is the first task in which students will read CCVC and CCVCe pattern words (in a serif font) that are NOT minimally different pairs. They begin with initial consonant blends.

102.6 Story Reading

This is the first task in which students are asked to find words (in a serif font) that contain certain letter combinations. Newer letter combinations are underlined here to help students identify them.
