2b Sounding Out Tiles

Notice how when I say the word fat, I say it so he can hear every sound.  Especially important for this student, who drops so many of his final sounds. (But important for all students!)

...But then I should have asked him to write on the desk with two fingers. (The two fingers aids in memory!) 

Also note that when the student puts the tiles back onto the board, we want him to put them back in alphabetic order. This is tricky in the beginning, when we just have a few letters. But that is the direction we are going in: a neat board with tiles in alphabetic-order at all times.
