I began with a review of the sound deck with visual and blending drills. Graphemes included sc,b,st,d,c,sp,sm,nd,not,u.) The words on the blending board included swell, smell, small, best, west, went, wept, weld, wet, well. To practice phonemic awareness, we deleted one syllable of a two-syllable word using a visual prompt. The new concept was the V/CV syllable division pattern, as in the word tiger. Rhett read the decodable reader, "The Case of Jake's Escape, Chapter 3." I dictated the sentence, "Stop that big dog!" for Rhett to write and edit.
