# Cycle 120 ## 120.1 Letter Combinations #### Purpose and Procedure This task requires students to read words that contain the *ir* or *ur* letter combinations and that also contain consonant blends. Students are not asked to identify the letter combination or its sound before reading the word. ## 120.4 Patterns #### Purpose and Procedure Starting in this task, students must determine when to read the minor sound of *g* and when to read its major sound. ## 120.6 Story Reading #### Purpose and Procedure This is the first time students will read capital letters in the story text, which will only occur in the *Re-Read* tasks for now. The new passage in this task is the first in which the *ir* and *ur* letter combinations appear in story text (underlined for now). ## 120.7 Word Parts #### Purpose and Procedure This task introduces students to the *de-* beginning*.* It is a continuation of the series introducing students to words with beginnings that are unstressed first syllables in which the letter *e* can make the schwa sound (/ə/). Because it is especially important that students hear the schwa sound in these words before repeating them, you will use the sound buttons in this task rather than reading the words yourself. --- # 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.
