This task requires students to read multisyllabic words containing the wh- letter combination. Students are not asked to identify the letter combination or its sound before reading the word.
In this task, students practice the minor sound of c within -VCe patterns. All of the words in this task have an a before the c.
The following is the correction text to use if a student makes a mistake in this type of Patterns task:
❖ If the student makes an error, use these prompts to guide them:
a. Point to the letter c…
b. What letter comes after the c?…
c. So what sound should we read for that c?…
d. Try the whole word again…
e. My turn to read it slowly… Let’s read it slowly together… Your turn to read it slowly…
This is the first task in which the wh letter combination appears in story text (underlined for now). It’s also the first in which the or letter combination is not underlined.
In this task, students repeat a compound word after you say it and then they try to identify its component words on their own before being asked to read them.
