What do you have for materials? What level is your student
at? If you have the instructor's manual (read all of the
introductory stuff), rules, dictation, and student readers
you may be able to make a go of it. Have you had any
experience with explicit phonics instruction? Your focus will
be on letter-sound correspondence, syllable structures and
phonetically regular words, blending and segmenting (phonemic
awareness), and reading controlled text for fluency. The
instructor's guide include lesson plans.
