# Cycle 78 ## Video Modeling Sounds and Words: 78.1 — 78.5 {% embed url="" %} ## 78.1 New Sound {% embed url="" %} #### Purpose and Procedure In this task, students will learn the sound /ks/ as in *six*. It is actually a combination of two sounds: the initial quick sound /k/ and then a continuous sound /sss/, which is why there is a dot beneath it. Like with all other continuous sounds, hold this one for two seconds. ## 78.3 Patterns -VCe #### Purpose and Procedure In this task, you continue to teach students about words with a Vowel-Consonant-*e* (-VCe) pattern, but this time the earlier vowel in all of the words is *o*, so the silent *e* will always change the sound from /ŏ/ to /ō/. ## 78.4 Similar Sounds #### Purpose and Procedure Pronounce every *n* in this task as /ŋ/. You don’t need to pronounce the /g/ at the end of *sing, sang*, or *song*, but you will pronounce the /k/ at the end of *sink*, *sank*, and *sunk*. --- # 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.
