Christopher started the lesson reciting the vowel team and their sounds. He did Quick Drill in Reverse and practiced ung, ost, and ing. Christopher practiced the two sounds for /uh/ both "u" and schwa. He also practiced /s/ and /z/, reviewing that "s" can sound like /z/ in the words "bugs." Christopher completed his dictation test. He wrote five nonsense words, five sight words, and three sentences. Christopher remembered to capitalize the first word of a sentence. He worked on the analysis of his page by scooping syllables. Christopher underlined the "ct" blends. He marked up the vowels and underlined blends including triple letter blends as in the word, "instruct." Christopher marked up all the dictation sentences. He circled punctuation. He circled sight words. Christopher scooped all the two syllable words and underlined the blends, taking special note of the blend "ct." Christopher did a great job on the dictation. He was then introduced to the new substep 3.4 which is multisyllabic words. Christopher read the word: fantastic from the magnetic tiles. He broke the word into three syllables, recognizing that you divide between consonants. Christopher read the words: snapdragon, and basketball. He understood how to divide these words into three syllables. Christopher then devised a board game. He did a very creative job of this and volunteered to read up to six new words. He read, Wisconsin and did not know this word. We looked on the map of the United States and I showed him Wisconsin being west of Lake Michigan. Christopher read establish, fantastic, and basketball for the game he made. He had a very successful day.
