Research: Students on Once grew on i-Ready from 38th percentile nationally to 67th percentile!
In this task, students will learn the sound /r/ as in rain.
Make sure not to add a vowel sound before it (like /ər/ at the end of the word painter) or after it (like /rŭh/ at the beginning of the word rust). The correct pronunciation is like saying the word roar without the oar at the end.
Treat the /h/ sound at the beginning of hey as a stop sound. If necessary, ask students to take a deep breath before they say it.
This task introduces stories that continue across three lines of text. It also introduces stories with more than one sentence.
