Rhett was in good spirits today. I reviewed the sound deck with visual and blending drills. To reinforce phonemic awareness, we played a sorting game to count and classify words. I taught the compound words (sunfish, sunset, catfish) and dictated example words for Rhett to write. Next, he read a decodable book called The Sunset Pond. I dictated sentences to write and edit (Bud is a big dog. The pond is the best spot at sunset.)
