Syllable Sleuth: Students analyze words by identifying the syllable type (vowel spelling pat- terns) to determine the number of syllables and successfully decode words.
Engagement Text: The teacher reads aloud to students. This text serves to pique students’ interest about the Decodable Reader, introduced in Work Time B, by incorporating the topic and words from this cycle into an engaging read-aloud.
Comprehension Conversation (optional): Students answer suggested (or similar) text- based comprehension questions about the engagement text.
Words Rule (Review): Students review spelling patterns in words and apply their knowl- edge of syllable types to identify when each pattern is applied. Students are able to success- fully decode (read) and encode (spell) words with familiar spelling patterns.
Snap or Trap (Review): Students review high-frequency words of the cycle. This practice explicitly reviews all high-frequency words students read in the Decodable Reader. Students decode and analyze each word to determine if the word is a “snap” word because it is decoda- ble (regularly spelled) or “trap” because it is irregularly spelled.
Word Workout (Count It Out): Students apply their knowledge of syllable and spelling patterns to identify syllable types and decode multisyllabic words.
Word Workout (Question Boxes): Students apply their knowledge of vowel sounds and spelling patterns to answer questions about what spelling patterns match speci c vowel sounds.
