This is the order for drills done at home:

1. Show letter/picture cards in this order: EX: b - bat - "b"

2. Call out sounds only and student is to write the letter that makes that sound.

3. Do blending drills using with either, letter cards, letter magnets, blending board with cards, etc.  Use only the dictation I've given with each letter or what they've done prior to that letter.

4. Now, without letters to look at, call out the same dictation practiced for them to write.  Give the sounds one at a time. EX: /s/ /a/ /m/  sam

5. Very Important!!! Read back all dictation.  Do not correct mistakes until you do this step.  When students read their own mistakes, they gain an understanding of what they did wrong.  This makes the correction meaningful.

6. Keep all dictation in a 3-ring binder to use each practice session.  It aids in retention for students to repeatedly read their own dictation.

7. Go quickly through a card deck with about 10 of their "red" words each practice session.  Repetition is the key ingredient in helping the children to retain what we're teaching.  It must be a daily process.

8. Practice patience, more patience and extra patience. Never show frustration and never give up!
