Cycle 121

121.1 Letter Combinations

Purpose and Procedure

This task requires students to read multisyllabic words containing the ir or ur letter combination. Students are not asked to identify the letter combination or its sound before reading the word.

121.6 Story Reading

Purpose and Procedure

This is the first task in which the ou letter combination is not underlined.

121.7 Word Parts

Purpose and Procedure

This task introduces students to the re- 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.
