Kip and I began with a game of "Sight Word Jenga" to review common irregular words. I reviewed the sound deck with visual, auditory, and blending drills. I taught the FF-LL-SS-ZZ spelling rule (double the consonant in one-syllable words that end in FLSZ) and dictated words to ensure that he understood. We co-read the novel, Ranger, pausing to draw a chart of the characters. We agreed that there are too many characters which is a little confusing! I enjoy Kip's curiosity and enthusiasm.
