I began with a review of the sound deck with visual and auditory drills. I taught the grapheme ow /ou/ as a new concept. I dictated a list of words for Rhett to write on the dry-erase word, including owl, tower, clown, brown, flower, power. Rhett read a decodable text, "Amazing Snakes" and recorded the book in his reading journal. I dictated a sentence for Rhett to write and edit, "Listen to me now!"
