Lesson 10: CVC Practice (a, i)
Step 1: Phonemic Awareness
No letters, no writing. Ears only.

Part A: Blending
"I am going to say some sounds one at a time. Squish them together into a word. Ready?"
/p/ /i/ /n/  -> pin
/t/ /i/ /n/  -> tin
/n/ /a/ /p/  -> nap
/f/ /a/ /n/  -> fan
/s/ /i/ /t/  -> sit
/m/ /a/ /n/  -> man

Part B: Segmenting
"Now I will say a word. Break it into its sounds and count them on your fingers. Ready?"
pin  -> /p-i-n/  (3 sounds)
tin  -> /t-i-n/  (3 sounds)
nap  -> /n-a-p/  (3 sounds)
fan  -> /f-a-n/  (3 sounds)
sit  -> /s-i-t/  (3 sounds)
man  -> /m-a-n/  (3 sounds)

Step 3: Auditory Drill
"I will say a sound and you write the letter as fast as you can. Ready?"
Say: /a/   ->   Write: A
Say: /i/   ->   Write: I
Say: /m/   ->   Write: M
Say: /s/   ->   Write: S
Say: /t/   ->   Write: T
Say: /p/   ->   Write: P
Say: /f/   ->   Write: F
Say: /n/   ->   Write: N

If they write the wrong letter: give the correct answer, have them write it while saying the sound, then move on.

Step 5: Word Building
"I will say a word. Listen for all the sounds, then build it or write it. Then look at it, cover it up, and write it again."
Say: "pin"
Say: "nap"
Say: "fan"
Say: "sit"
Say: "tip"
After all words: go back and spot-check any that were spelled incorrectly. Say the sounds out loud together, then have your child try again.

Step 6: New Concept and Letter Formation
This is a review lesson. Practice reading and building words with short A and short I.

"Today we are reviewing what we have already learned. Let us read these words together."
PIN  |  NAP  |  FAN  |  SIT  |  TIP

Day 2  |  Step 10: Dictated Sentence
"Now I will say a sentence. Listen carefully, then write it down."
"A pin is in it."
"When you are done, let us check it together using CAPS."
C = Capital letter at the start.  |  A = Appearance.  |  P = Punctuation at the end.  |  S = Spelling.
