I began with a phonological awareness exercise, level I #12, followed by a sound deck review with visual, auditory, and blending drills. Ben continues to struggle with ou, y, dge, tch. To practice these graphemes, he read a list of example words for each. For regular spelling, I dictated: imply ruby, deny, July, reply, gypsy. For irregular spelling, I dictated: great, break, thought. I dictated a sentence for Ben to write and edit (You need a long summer break.) Ben syllabicated and read two lists of /ou/ words (three-syllable and unfamiliar). To practice reading comprehension and fluency, we read an article about Ansel Adams and watched a short video about his life and work.
