I began with a one-minute phonological exercise (Kilpatrick, D2#3). Next, Libby and I sequenced the alphabet and identified the vowels. I conducted visual, auditory, and blending drills. Libby only missed /sh/ and /th/. She blended CVC words with the short "u." I changed the initial and final sounds. For a brain break, I read "Mercy Watson: the Piglet." I found words in the text that Libby could decode/read (in, on, if, not, the). For spelling, I dictated the following regular words: in, not, pig. With exaggerated pronunciation by me, Libby successfully wrote the words. For irregular words, Libby wrote the word "the."
