I began with a one-minute phonological awareness exercise and visual, auditory, and blending drills. Libby's ability to blend CVC words with all short vowels improves every session; today, she read with short -u- and short -e-. I dictated CVC words for regular spelling. Libby read her deck of irregular words confidently: and, the, has, as, his, is, love. I introduced two new words: and, you. She read a decodable reader from Flyleaf Publishing, "Pam Likes to Nap." I read several chapters of "Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig."
