# Cycle 148 ## 148.1 Letter Combinations {% embed url="" %} #### Purpose and Procedure This task introduces the letter combination *ow* as in *snow*. ## 148.4 Patterns #### Purpose and Procedure This is the first time students are asked to read -VCe pattern words ending in *-ment*, *-ly*, *-ness*, *‑ful*, and *-less* suffixes without the base words being underlined. ## 148.7 Word Parts #### Purpose and Procedure This task is the first in a series that introduces students to three beginnings (*pre-*, *post-*, and *re-*) and their meanings ("before," "after," and "again"). Students touch and repeat the beginnings after you say them. Note that in this task, *pre-* is pronounced /prē/ and *re-* is pronounced /rē/ (rather than being pronounced with schwa sounds) because they are accented syllables. The words in this task all begin with *pre-.* --- # 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.
