I began with visual, auditory, and blending exercises. Libby read and spelled CVC with -ck and -sh final sounds. She read all of her irregular words. I dictated a sentence for her to write and edit (The bug is red and black.) She read a decodable book, "Butterfly, Butterfly." We picked out a new Kate DiCamillo book to read, "Eugenia Lincoln and the Unexpected Package". Libby identified the title, author, illustrator, and main character of the book. I read the first few pages while Libby colored the pictures.
