# Cycle 55 ## Video Modeling Sounds and Words: 55.1 — 55.4 {% embed url="" %} ## 55.3 Irregulars #### Purpose and Procedure This task introduces the fact that a final *d* is sometimes pronounced /t/ (when an unvoiced sound comes before it), like in the word *tricked*. ## 55.4 Word Reading #### Purpose and Procedure The words *sees* and *digs* each have a final *s* that makes a voiced /z/ sound. The final part of this task introduces reading words sub-vocally when they have quick sounds in them. #### Important Reminders Ensure that students stay silent when reading the words in their heads, and ensure that students touch under the words both when reading them silently and when saying them fast. #### Correcting the Student The following is the correction text to use if a student pauses when reading a word that begins with a quick sound \[example word: *he*]. ❖ If the student struggles with the quick sound, say: We can’t pause after this sound: /h/, so we have to say the next sound with it, like /hēēē/.
