Libby was eager to read our Kate DiCamillo book, so I began our session by reading a chapter. It is fun to see her enthusiasm for the book! Next, I conducted visual, auditory, and blending drills. Libby identified most of the letter sounds, wrote the letters for /ch/, /k/, /x/, /I/, /n/. She blends CVC words with short 'a' and short 'o'. I dictated similar words for her to write, as well as a sentence for her to write and edit (I love maps!) I reviewed all irregular words. To conclude, Libby read a decodable reader from Flyleaf Publishing.
