This lesson is practicing short nasal "a" sound. The third word provided in the "Extention" activity is "clang" which is not short a.
Bottom half of page under "Phonemic Awareness/Phonics" "Extention" in blue box.
We have accepted the change and will change the word to fit.
The Extension activity says "have students use their Elkonin boxes and colored chips to sound out the /sh/ sound in longer words such as "shrimp", "splash" and "splint". "Splint" does not have an /sh/ sound. Suggest changing "splint" to "brush" or other /sh/ word.
P. 48 Lesson 16 "Initial and Final sh" - 1st part of lesson "Phonemic Awareness". Blue box at end of lesson "Differentiate". Last part "Extension".
We accept this change and will replace the word.
Word list includes "thank", but blue box to the right of the lesson at the top of the page states that this lesson is "Phonological and Phonemic Awareness: Short Vowel Closed Syllables". The word "thank" contains a long /a/ sound or vowel, not a short /a/.
P. 51 Lesson 17 "Initial and Final th". "Phonics" part of lesson top of page. First beige box with "skills" and "words".
We accept this change.
Question 1 asks "which word contains the "oi" sound?". Answers include both "toy" and "coin" which both contain the "oi" sound. There is more than 1 correct answer. It should be noted that many quick check items have more than 1 correct answer. All assessments should be carefully reviewed to ensure that there is only one correct answer.

We will accept this change according to suggestion.

We edited the answer choices to only provide one correct answer.
This is an error because the examples given of all and roll follow a VCC pattern not a spelling pattern with two vowels. There is only one vowel in both of the examples. Change the examples to match the description.
About 2/3rds of the way down the page it says "Vowel Combination Endings-a spelling pattern where two vowels work together at the end of the word (eg all in small and oll in roll.)
