DRY ERASE MARKER
1. Select a word from the
relevant session in the
Student Book.
2. Write word on the dry erase board
(or point to word in Student Book).
Do not speak the word or give any
cues about it—the student is going
to learn the strategy of sound-based
decoding (sound-based reading of
unfamiliar words).
3. “Please try to read this word. I’ll
help you if you need it.”
4. If the student hesitates or doesn’t
read it with a Blend As You Read
approach, then cover the lettersounds in the word, revealing just

the first 2 sounds.
“Put these 2 sounds together.”
5. “Now hold this sound (tap the 2nd
letter-sound) and add the next
sound (uncover the next sound).” If
it’s longer than just 3 sounds,
encourage the student:
“Keep putting the sounds together.
Stretch it out.”
6. Keep revealing one sound at a
time, encouraging the student to put
the sounds together as she reads
the word.

7. “What’s the word?”
8. “Yes!”
Define or elaborate the word or
ask the student if she knows the
word’s meaning.
9. “Great. Now you get to write each
sound as you say each sound.”
Support the student to write each
sound as she says each sound.
Most students prefer to write on
the dry erase board but lines are
also available for writing in the
Student Book.
10.

Each list does not have to be completely covered each session. The list of words is
simply a possibility. In addition, most students prefer to write on the dry erase board
even though the Student Book allows for writing in it.

Repeat with 2 - 4 more words.
