In phonics, the students learned that readers don't let longer words slow them down. They enjoyed practicing using their "Pointer Power" while remembering to be on the look-our for the long words that might try to trick them into pointing too many times for one single word. They paid close attention to when their pointer power started to lose strength when the words didn't match, and they practiced going back and trying again while remembering that every word-even the longer ones-only get one tap. ☝
