First, Sasha sequenced the alphabet using alphachips (2 minutes), identified the vowels, defined a syllable, and built consonant-vowel-consonant (i.e., closed) syllables. Next, I conducted visual and auditory drills with all consonants and digraphs. Sasha read a word fluency list (Wilson 1, pg 12). For spelling practice, we reviewed "qu" words and the irregular words has and said. We are building a spelling deck for weekly review. For the new concept, I introduced syllabication of VCCV (rabbit) words. Application of this strategy will enable Sasha to decode unfamiliar multisyllabic words. To practice reading fluency, Sasha read a passage from Wilson 1, pg 48. To conclude, we played several rounds of Phonics Dice to reinforce CVC decoding.
