Cycle 155

155.1 Letter Combinations

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

155.4 Patterns

This is the first time students are asked to read -VCe pattern words with an -er suffix.

155.7 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).

This time, the words in this cycle are all possessive nouns that end with -'s. Students learn what an apostrophe is and say the word apostrophe.
