Conducting Step 4 - Spell Words

  1. In Step 4, a dictation list is provided with words using previously taught sounds, blends, or rules. In addition, after Step 5 has been taught at the current level, new content will populate at the bottom of this dictation list reflecting concepts taught in previous sessions at this same level. This allows students an opportunity to practice their newly learned skills.
