I picked up MCP's Plaid Phonics Level A workbook, and we're going to start moving through that. This evening I quickly reviewed the first section with Nugget (pages 7-65), which is consonant beginning/middle/ending sounds. She had that down cold, so we picked up for real at section 2, short vowel sounds. Nugget mostly knows these, but still sometimes can't pin down the differences between 'a' and 'e', especially. She's moving quickly here, but I figure it's good practice.

Phonics (Plaid) -- Pages 67-72, short 'a'

Handwriting (HWoT) -- Review tricky lowercase letters 'a', 'd', 'g' (lesson 25)

Math (RS) -- Review vocabulary 'plus'; combine tens and ones

Reading -- 2 pages of "The Pirate Map"
