# Cycle 58 ## Video Modeling Sounds and Words: 58.1 — 58.5 {% embed url="" %} ## 58.1 New Sound {% embed url="" %} #### Purpose and Procedure In this task, students will learn the sound /ŏr/ as in *car* (not /ōr/ as in *for*) . Even though this sound is made of two characters that usually represent two continuous sounds, we want students to recognize it as a single unit, which is why the characters are underlined. Emphasize this when you model the sound by holding the /ŏ/ sound for most of the time and then just ending on the /r/ sound, so you say /ŏŏŏr/. Like the other letter combinations that you’ve taught (*th*, *sh*), your finger will stay over the dot beneath the sound the whole time that you say the sound, rather than moving from beneath the *a* to beneath the *r*. ## 58.4 Irregulars #### Purpose and Procedure In some of the words in this task (*tricked*, *asked*, *tossed*, and *fished*), the final *ed* makes the /t/ sound. When students read these words the slow way, they may pronounce the final *ed* as either /d/ or /t/; either way is acceptable. When they read these words the fast way, however, they should pronounce the final *ed* only as /t/. ## 58.5 Word Reading #### Purpose and Procedure The final part of this task introduces reading sub-vocally irregular words and words that have final consonant blends. #### Important Reminders Ensure that students touch under the words when reading them silently and when saying them fast. If a student struggles to read words correctly out loud fast, ask the student to read the word slowly out loud so that you can diagnose the problem. --- # 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.
