I taught a K/1/2 self-contained for eight years and used a program called
Preventing Academic Failure (PAF) and supplement with Explode the Code. I
loved the combination.

Are you working on phonemic awareness? If he can't blend orally he may need

I believe sometimes when we hold text back from a child due to lack of phonics
