Cycle 56

Video Modeling Sounds and Words: 56.1 — 56.5

56.1 New Sound

Purpose and Procedure

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

Important Reminders

Even though this sound is made of two characters that usually represent two sounds, we want students to recognize it as a single unit, which is why the characters are visibly connected.

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 /ch/ not /chǝ/.

56.5 Word Reading

Purpose and Procedure

The final part of this task introduces reading words sub-vocally when they begin and end with quick sounds before reading them out loud the fast way.

If a student struggles to read them out loud correctly, ask the student to read the word slowly out loud so that you can diagnose the problem.

Important Reminders

Ensure that students touch under the words when reading them silently and when saying them fast.
