I began with a review of the sound deck with auditory and blending drills. Phonemes included /f/,/l/,/s/,/t/ and /v/. Words included gate, nate, mote, rote, rot, roof, rand, and ring. We practiced phonemic awareness for concept review using a PowerPoint of manipulative squares as a visual to delete a syllable from a two-syllable word. The new concept was a as /o/ in words like ball and fall. The connected text, "Fun in Winter, Spring, and Fall," reinforced the lesson. I dictated the sentence, "The smell of fall is the best." Using the CAPS mnemonic, we edited the sentence.
