I began with a review of the sound deck with visual and blending drills. Graphemes included o, u, er, ea, ee, ai, ay. Words on the blending board included bat, chat, cleat, clean, mean, bean. Rhett practiced the VC/CV syllable division pattern with a list of unfamiliar two and three-syllable words. He read chapter one of a decodable text, "Frank the Fish Gets His Wish." I dictated a sentence for Rhett to write and edit.
