Then, given a word, she had to put in the missing letters to finish spelling the words. She was going to spell coin , coyn. You can see that she thought "oy" made this middle sound. I had to tell her that "oi" is right in this case and it makes the same sound.

Megan had to fill in the missing numbers when they started with 1-24, then 31-50 and then 75-101.
Then, she had to look at a picture and circle the word that spells what it is , like a picture of a can of soda gave can or cane, or pan and pane for a frying pan.

I didi a lesson where I drew a clothesline of shirts and their sleeves each had a blend and I read a blend and she had to try and write the word on the shirt. Well ,Megan was efficient I guess and just wrote the letters that come after the blend, like for plane, she wrote "ane" Then I had a gluing activity where she glued pictures of the blends in the right places. I checked and she did this. So, it seems she understand constant-L blends fairly well.
