I began with a one-minute phonological awareness exercise (Kilpatrick, D2#4). Libby and I sequenced the alphabet and identified the vowels. I conducted visual, auditory, and blending drills. I taught the spelling rule ck at the end of a short word and dictated the following words: pick, tick, thick. I taught and dictated the following irregular words: the, is. I dictated a sentence for Libby to write and edit using the acronym CAPS (I will pick up the dog.)
