I began the session with a review of the sound deck with visual and blending drills. To strengthen phonemic awareness, we segmented words using Elkonin boxes. We revisited yesterday's concept, compound words.

I continued to build a list of irregular and high-frequency words. Today we tackled the, is, his, as, has, and you, practicing both reading and spelling.

The connected text was a book from Flyleaf Publishing entitled Scamp Gets a Bath. This decodable text included the irregular and high-frequency words above, as well as opportunities to practice reading CVC, CCCVC, compound words, digraphs, and blends. I dictated a sentence from the book and helped edit using the COPS acronym.
