Cycle 8

In this cycle, students are introduced to the spelling-sound patterns “-ind” (/īnd/), “-ild” (/īld/) “-old” (/ōld/), and “-ost” (/ōst/), and contractions with the word “is” (examples: “it’s”, “she’s”). In addition, they continue to review and practice using their knowledge of known syllable types to decode two-syllable words.
