Cycle 13

In this task, students will learn the sound /f/ as in find.

Starting with this cycle, New Sound tasks will no longer include purple correction text in the instructor pane.  Continue to correct students’ mistakes in the same way that the curriculum has called for thus far.  The bullets below provide a reminder of how to do so.

General Notes on this Type of Task:

Students should read all continuous phonemes slowly.

• If the student says a letter’s name or a wrong sound, say: “This sound is /___/.  Let’s read it together.  Get ready: /___/.  Good.  Your turn…”
• If the student doesn’t hold continuous sounds for two seconds, say: “Read this sound slowly like this: /___/.  Let’s read it together.  Get ready: /___/.  Good.  Your turn…”
• If the student says the sound at the wrong time, say: “Only read this sound when my finger is right beneath it, like this: /___/. Let’s read it together. Get ready: /___/. Good. Your turn…”
