Danny started the lesson today with Quick Drill in Reverse. He practiced a, e, i, o, and u with the key words. He practiced the digraphs wh, ch th, and the consonant f. Danny still has confusion between "th" and "f." We reviewed with this in mind. Danny practiced ank, am, ong, ang, ink, unk, and all. He then reviewed his new sounds ind, ild, ost, old, and olt. Danny read the words trots, bend and blush. He marked up these words showing base word and suffix, blends, and digraphs. He then marked up the words: molt, scold, volt, wild, and post. Danny boxed these welded sounds and we reviewed the way the vowel is long because these are exceptions to the closed vowel rule. Danny did not know the meaning of molt and scold. These words were entered into his dictionary with a definition, sentence and a drawing that he did by himself. We discussed the meaning of the word volt. Danny practiced the sight words: anyone and becoming with the gel pad and stylus. He also practiced any, become, and which. Danny read a stack of words from 2.3. He then took dictation. He paid attention to his work and showed he is making corrections in the word "child." Danny completed almost all of the dictation and then went on to camp.
