Wyatt wasn't feeling well after a dentist appointment, so I taught Rhett for one hour. I began with a review of the sound deck with auditory and blending drills. Phonemes included /ch/, /sh/, /th/, /A/, /E/. Words on the blending board included shush, smush, mush, brush, crush, blush, slush, flush. We practiced phonemic awareness (dropping one syllable of a two-syllable word) using a visual aid (PowerPoint slide with squares.) I taught the grapheme /ai/ as a new concept. I explained its placement in a word and Rhett read example words. He read the decodable text "My Summertime Camping Trip." As a reward, we played tic-tac-toe with CVC and silent E words and Shoots and Ladders with consonant blends words.
