Cycle 47

Video Modeling Sounds and Words: 47.1 — 47.4

47.1 New Sound

Purpose and Procedure

In this task, students will learn the sound /k/ as in kind. This is another quick sound (like t/, /d/, /g/, /h/, /k/ (written as c), and /b/).

Important Reminders

Make sure you do 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 /k/ not /kǝ/.

47.3 The Slow-Fast Game

Purpose and Procedure

This task returns to saying words slowly and fast that have initial and final consonant blends and whose initial consonant blends are composed of a continuous sound followed by a quick sound. (Sting is an exception because it doesn’t have a final blend.) This time, however, you will not tell students the words before saying them slowly, and you will not say them slowly with the students before students try on their own.

47.4 Word Reading

Purpose and Procedure

The final part of this task introduces reading irregular words and words with final consonant blends when there are no symbols beneath the words.
