# Cycle 154

## 154.1 Letter Combinations

#### Purpose and Procedure

This task requires students to read words that contain the *wr* letter combination without being asked to identify the letter combination or its sound before reading the word.

## 154.4 Patterns

#### Purpose and Procedure

This task asks students to identify the silent *e* at the end of -VCe pattern words that disappears when the base word takes a suffix that begins with a vowel.

#### Correcting the Student

The following is the correction text to use if a student mispronounces the *-ed* ending in this task:

<mark style="color:purple;">❖</mark>  If a student says the ending as /ĕd/, say: <mark style="color:purple;">Try reading that ending with one of the other sounds that it can make… What word is it?…</mark>

## 154.6 Story Reading

#### Purpose and Procedure

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

## 154.7 Word Parts

#### Purpose and Procedure

This task continues the series that introduces students to three endings (*-s*, *-es*, and *-'s*) and their meanings (the first two indicate plurals or verb conjugations; the last indicates possession)*.*&#x20;

This time, the words in this cycle are all verbs ending with *-s* or *-es.*&#x20;
