Maybe change tack and look Processing and Memory tasks and not the product (teaching being the "I" sound)
Look at Cogmed training...

Conner M
Connor's report has come back. Doesn't make for great reading but it is good to know where his gaps are so I can begin the process of filling them in.
Have spoken to Jen and Rachel Rachmani about the report and the direction to take. It is a bit like the say.. "How do you eat an elephant..."
SO.... I have gone through the report in great detail and highlighted the greatest concerns (and checked with Rachel and Jen).
Connor still is not secure in his vowel sounds. So I have been working with him 1 on 1 while Carter is away and specifically been targeting the I sound in CVC words. I got Mum in one reading time and showed her exactly what I was doing and gave her an mini whiteboard and pen to take home and do daily with Connor.
Dante and Connor have been regularly going on Reading Doctor. They also have Sue doing daily flash cards at their level.
As yet, I have seen no shift in Reading Levels with Connor, and even reading an unknown CVC is difficult for him.
I now read through his reader before the GR lesson (to Connor) every day so Connor feels relaxed and it is not a surprise to him.

Dante
Dante has joined Group 1 for 2 weeks now and has seems to have a much greater confidence at reading time. His fluency has improved but I am aware that his daily readers are a lot easier as he has dropped back into Level 10-12 books with Carter and Connor. The goal of getting Dante to improve his fluency seems to have helped, so I think I will take him back up gradually over the next few weeks.
Carter is Away in Australia all week..
No progress update. Concerns he will forget the work done previously.

What am I doing differently?
At last PLC Sharyn prompted me to think outside the square - what am I doing and what can I do.
Blogging improved

Building on your knowledge
Nikki our RTLB went to Australia to meet the Reading Doctor creator and so she would be a great person to tap into. She has also used it with her own son.
I wonder if you could access the creator and see what advice he could give us?
Great start CL.
