The Foundational Skills learning activities focus on a mixture of learning high-frequency words, phonological awareness, and phonics. This is a non-graded learning activity, but it is important to review the material before completing the daily lesson.

To prepare for the lesson:

• Download the Week 1, Day 4 teaching slides: Foundational Skills (1.1) Day 4 PowerPoint.
• You will find detailed instructions to assist with daily teaching slides in the notes section of the PowerPoint; download the Week 1, Day 4 slide notes for reference.
• You will use the same Week 1 Practice Handouts you downloaded on Day 1.

Now, go through the daily teaching slides for Day 4 with your student.
