Cycle 101

This is the first task in which students write six words.

Students will write each word once, and they should copy it by looking at the word on the screen. 

The act of writing these words ensures that students pay close attention to the form of each word, which will help the students recognize and read them with increasing ease.

From now on, both the Irregulars task and the Review task will require students to write. There will no longer be a separate Writing task at the end of each cycle.

This is the first task in which students read sentences of text in a serif font.  This time, the instructor will model the passage twice (touching beneath each word the second time) before the student re-reads it.

Newer letter combinations are underlined here to help students identify them.

In addition to ar, newer letter combinations (ea, ee, -ey, and –y) will be underlined in story text to help students identify them.
