Lesson 19: Short Vowel Review (all)
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?"
/s/ /a/ /t/  -> sat
/s/ /e/ /t/  -> set
/s/ /i/ /t/  -> sit
/s/ /o/ /b/  -> sob
/s/ /u/ /n/  -> sun
/b/ /a/ /g/  -> bag
/b/ /e/ /g/  -> beg
/b/ /i/ /g/  -> big

Part B: Segmenting
"Now I will say a word. Break it into its sounds and count them on your fingers. Ready?"
sat  -> /s-a-t/  (3 sounds)
set  -> /s-e-t/  (3 sounds)
sit  -> /s-i-t/  (3 sounds)
sob  -> /s-o-b/  (3 sounds)
sun  -> /s-u-n/  (3 sounds)
bag  -> /b-a-g/  (3 sounds)
beg  -> /b-e-g/  (3 sounds)
big  -> /b-i-g/  (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: /o/   ->   Write: O
Say: /u/   ->   Write: U
Say: /e/   ->   Write: E
Say: /m/   ->   Write: M
Say: /s/   ->   Write: S
Say: /t/   ->   Write: T
Say: /p/   ->   Write: P
Say: /f/   ->   Write: F
Say: /n/   ->   Write: N
Say: /d/   ->   Write: D
Say: /k/   ->   Write: C
Say: /g/   ->   Write: G
Say: /b/   ->   Write: B

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: "sat"
Say: "set"
Say: "sit"
Say: "bag"
Say: "beg"
Say: "big"
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. No new letter today. Practice reading and building CVC words with all five short vowels: A, I, O, U, and E.

"Today we are reviewing what we have already learned. Let us read these words together."

SAT  |  SET  |  SIT  |  BAG  |  BEG  |  BIG

Day 2  |  Step 10: Dictated Sentence
"Now I will say a sentence. Listen carefully, then write it down."
"The pup is sad."
"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.
