Cycle 129

129.1 Letter Combinations

Purpose and Procedure

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

129.4 Patterns

Purpose and Procedure

In this task, the words with -VCe and -VC bases are still minimally different pairs, but the order is shuffled so that they no longer appear next to one another.

129.6 Story Reading

Purpose and Procedure

This is the first task in which the igh letter combination appears in story text (underlined for now).

129.7 Word Parts

Purpose and Procedure

This task introduces students to the pro- beginning when it is an unaccented syllable and, therefore, the vowel makes the schwa sound, as opposed to the long o sound (/ō/).
