Goal: practise code mapping across short vowels and read for meaning. Codes: AC9E1LY04, AC9E1LY11, AC9E1LY13. Prepare: matching Day 17 choices, three sound boxes.

  1. Retrieve · 3 min. A: show back, sick, duck; point to the common final sound spelling. B: revisit mend, stand, shop; name what is one sound or two.
  2. Model · 5 min. A: segment neck /n/ /e/ /k/, place ck in one box, blend and use its meaning with an adult-read body diagram, without asking children to label themselves. B: segment mend as four sounds and sweep each before blending.
  3. Guide · 7 min. A: build dock, sack, rock, check short vowels and word meanings with drawings. B: build bend, shut, chop, then compare digraph against final blend. Shared-read a matching Day 17 line.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Child reads a selected line and explains the invented scene by speech, sign, AAC or picture choice. Dictate A rock or B hand for spelling with tiles or pencil. A correct letter choice after an adult-supplied sound is coded as prompted decoding.
  5. Exit · 3 min. A: read dock on a new card and select its pictured meaning. B: read bend and identify the final two sounds. If word meaning is unknown, teach it orally and keep the print check separate.

Access/home/extension: Use large/high-contrast or tactile graphemes. Home can sketch the scene. Extension: make a novel controlled line from known words and explain which word makes it meaningful.
