I conducted a phonological awareness exercise (Kilpatrick, E1#4, p. 136). Libby sequenced the alphabet using alpha-chips. I conducted visual, auditory, and blending drills. For regular spelling, I dictated words that end in -ck (pick, lick). For irregular words, I dictated: the, is, you. I dictated a sentence for Libby to write and edit using the acronym CAPS (Dad let him pack the bag.) To conclude, she read a decodable passage, "The Hat." (Wilson Student Reader 1, p. 45).
