I began with a phonological awareness exercise followed by a sound deck review with visual and blending drills. For regular spelling, I dictated: brown, crown, drown, crowd, powder, ground, sound, shout, mouth. For irregular spelling, I dictated: honest, honor, says. Finally, I dictated a sentence for Ben to write and edit (To be honest, I hate to be around crowds of people.) Ben syllabicated and read a list of unfamiliar, three-syllable words with the ou grapheme. To practice reading fluency and comprehension, we co-read an article about Georgia O'Keefe and watched a brief video about her life and work; I encouraged Ben to visit the Norton Museum, which has four excellent examples of her work.
