At the beginning of the lesson, Christopher set up all of his superheroes. He named everyone of them and I took dictation. Christopher named 52 characters. Sometimes he told me how to spell them also. Christopher started his lesson rehearsing the vowel sounds with their keywords. He continued by practicing the consonants and digraphs: f, g, j, and z. Christopher practiced the welded sounds: old, ost, ild, ind, ang, and ong. Chrisotopher read the words entraps, insteps, and minstrels from the magnetic letters. He was able to divide the words into syllables. At first Christopher needed direction to remember that one consonant needs to close in the vowel of the first syllable, and the second syllable starts with the blend. Christopher could also recognize the base word and the suffix. Christopher read the words impact, addict, abstract, instinct, and conflict. These words are from the higher level B list. Christopher needed a vocabulary workup on the word minstrels. Next lesson Christopher will continue with sight words. Happy Birthday to Christopher!
