Coach: look at the exit check results and the paper practice. Go back over every item a student missed: read it together, have the student explain their thinking, then show the correct thinking. Use the reteach routine below for anyone who missed two or more. Students who got everything right take the stretch task.

🔄 Reteach it (missed two or more)

Use a mirror. The student says the word and watches their mouth for the first sound (lips together for /m/ and /p/, teeth for /s/). Then say only that first sound.

Use stretchy sounds first (/m/, /s/, /n/), then bouncy sounds (/p/, /t/, /k/).

"mmmmilk": first sound?
Answer: /m/.
"sssseal": first sound?
Answer: /s/.
"nnnnose": first sound?
Answer: /n/.

🚀 Stretch it (got everything right)

Say three words that start with /n/.
Answer: Examples: nest, nut, nose, nine.
Change the first sound: "mat" to start with /s/. What word?
Answer: sat.
