I began with a one-minute phonological awareness exercise and visual, auditory, and blending drills. I dictated CVC words for regular spelling. Libby read her deck of irregular words: and, the, has, as, his, is, love, and, you. She re-read a decodable reader from Flyleaf Publishing, "Pam Likes to Nap."(Reading a familiar book builds student confidence.) I read several chapters of "Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig."
