I do need your help though, we do what is called Bulldog Block in the morning from 8-8:30. It's basically intervention/remediation and we have a small group of 15 students from all the first grade classes. My school does not have a phonics curriculum, so my co-teacher and I scramble each week to fill our time in the morning (and needless to say it makes me dread Bulldog Block every morning) Lately, we just find smart exchange activities to do, but is there a good phonics program you do at your school? I would be willing to purchase a teacher's version of any good phonics book to use with our lessons. Or if you have a different idea we can do, please let me know! Any advice and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Maybe try Words Their Way or Phonics They Use? I like both of those a lot :)
