I began with a one-minute phonological awareness exercise (Level D1 #1, delete one syllable from a two-syllable word). Phonological awareness is the ability to hearing and manipulate sounds within a word and is highly predictive of reading and spelling success. Next, we worked on alphabetic awareness. With help, Libby sequenced the alphabet and identified the vowels and consonants. I introduced the definition of a syllable (a word or a part of a word with one vowel sound). I conducted visual, auditory and blending drills with all 26 letters. We played a game of Phonics Dice to reinforced Libby's identification of the sounds of the letters. To conclude, I read a Mo Willem's book, "Today I Will Fly."
