Cycle 124
124.1 Letter Combinations
Purpose and Procedure
This task requires students to read words that contain the ol letter combination without being asked to identify the letter combination or its sound before reading the word.
124.4 Patterns
Purpose and Procedure
In this task, students practice reading the letter s as /z/ within -VCe patterns. All of the words in this task have an o before the s.
124.6 Story Reading
Purpose and Procedure
This is the first task in which the ol letter combination appears in story text (underlined for now).
124.7 Word Parts
Purpose and Procedure
This task introduces students to the -ship ending.
The word battleship has the -le word part in the middle of the word, which students may try to read incorrectly as /lĕ/. If a student struggles, the correction text directs you to cover -ship so that the student can read the word battle in isolation before then trying to read the whole word again. This will be the correction technique whenever a student struggles with reading a word part that has an ending added to it (the next case of this is in Cycle 138 with the -al in medalist).
Correcting the Student
The following is the correction text to use if a student struggles with reading a word part that has an ending added to it [example word: battleship]:
❖ If a student struggles with reading -le, cover -ship so only battle is visible, and say: Read just this part of the word… When they read battle correctly, uncover -ship and say: Now read the whole word…
❖ If a student still struggles to read battle by itself, point to -le and say: These two letters make a word part that you learned before. Try to remember what it sounds like when it’s at the end of words. Now try to read the word again. Go ahead…
❖ If a student still struggles, say: My turn to read it: battleship. Your turn to read it…
