In this task, students will learn the second quick sound taught in this curriculum, /d/ as in dash.
Make sure your finger does not stop at the arrowhead under the sound, and take care to make as little of a vowel sound after it as possible. It should be /d/ not /dǝ/.
This task returns to saying a word with an initial quick sound slowly and fast, but this time, for the word pay, you do not say the word first and you do not say it slowly together with the student before the student attempts it solo.
In this task, you will introduce students to tracking their fingers across two lines of text.
This task introduces stories that carry over to a second line of text.
Make sure students count the words on the first line in the same direction they would read them: from left to right, and then have them follow the dashed line to the start of the second line to continue counting from left to right.
Remember that the small red dots after the words Matt, eat, and meat in the story text to the left indicate moments when you will pause a student’s reading in order to ask questions.
When a student reaches a red dot, ask the question that begins with the corresponding number in the script.
If a student asks about the red dots, say that the red dots show you when to ask them a question.
