# Cycle 168 ## 168.1 Letter Combinations #### Purpose and Procedure This task requires students to read words that contain the *ue* or *ew* letter combination without being asked to identify the letter combination or its sound before reading the word. ## 168.4 Patterns #### Purpose and Procedure This task returns to reading derivatives of -VC and -VCe base words with the vowel in the base word underlined. This time, you ask the student whether a single or double letter follows the vowel and whether the letter's name or sound should be read as a result. The student reads the words without you reading them first. ## 168.6 Story Reading #### Purpose and Procedure This is the first task in which the *oy* and *oi* letter combinations appear in story text (underlined for now). ## 168.7 Word Parts #### Purpose and Procedure This task introduces students to the beginning *anti-* and its meaning of "against." Although *anti-* can often be pronounced in different ways (/antē/, /antǝ/, and /antī/), for all of the words in this task, pronounce it with the long *i* vowel sound: /antī/. Because *anti-* is commonly seen both with and without a hyphen following it, some of the words in this task have a hyphen after *anti* and some do not. When you get to the second word, *anti-war*, you point out the hyphen and have students say the word *hyphen*. At the end of the task, you ask the students to name something that they don't like and then use it in the following sentence: I guess you’re anti-\_\_\_\_\_\_\_! Use your judgment to ensure the word choice and sentence are appropriate. --- # 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.
