# Cycle 104 ## 104.1 Letter Combinations #### Purpose and Procedure This task requires students to read multisyllabic words containing *ai* and *ay* letter combinations. Students are not asked to identify the letter combination or its sound before reading the word. ## 104.4 Patterns -VCe #### Purpose and Procedure This is the first task in which students will read multisyllabic words (in a serif font) that are a mix of ‑VCe pattern words and non‑VCe pattern words. ## 104.6 Story Reading #### Purpose and Procedure The new passage contains the words *note* and *pad* as two separate words instead of a single compound word (*notepad*). This is strategic. Later in the curriculum, after you teach a certain type of -VCe derivative, the word will be rendered as *notepad*. By that time it will be less difficult for students to read it because they will have read *note pad* several times. This will help students by providing a gentler “on-ramp” to compound words containing internal -VCe patterns. ## 104.7 Word Parts #### Purpose and Procedure In this task, students read words with *-s* and *-es* endings that do not have their base words underlined. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
