We went outside for today's session. Libby and I sequenced the alphabet while bouncing a ball back and forth. Next, Libby independently sequenced the alphabet using manipulative letters. We identified the vowels and consonants, and I explained that a vowel is in every word or part of a word (syllable). I conducted visual, auditory, and blending drills. Libby is beginning to understand a digraph (two letters, one sound, such as /sh/, /th/, and /ch/. We read a new Mercy Watson book, Mercy Watson the Piglet. Libby enjoying learned the backstory of Mercy Watson!
