I began with a review of the sound deck with visual and blending drills. Graphemes included b,a,d,nd,not,I,e,u,x,o,y,sh,wh,ck,pl. Words on the blending board included will, wiff, wind, wimp, wilt, wish, wisp, wing, and wich. For phonemic awareness practice, I used a PowerPoint with movable squares to help visualize the deletion one syllable of a three-syllable word. We reviewed the VC/CV syllable division pattern, marking the vowels and syllabicating the following words: torrid, poplin, ransom, signet, aspen, allot, gallop, and damson. Rhett read a decodable reader, "The Case of Jake's Escape, Chapter 2." I dictated two sentences for him to write and edit (Jake likes snacks. Jake is a bad dog!)
