# Cycle 107

## 107.1 Letter Combinations

#### Purpose and Procedure

This task requires students to read words that contain the *or* letter combination and that also contain consonant blends. Students are not asked to identify the letter combination or its sound before reading the word.

## 107.4 Patterns -VCe

#### Purpose and Procedure

This is the first task in which students will read -VCe pattern words (in a serif font) in which the vowel that changes its sound is *e*. Unlike the countless -VCe pattern words in which an *a*, *i*, or *o* changes its sound, these words are relatively rare.
