Christopher started his lesson by reviewing the schwa sound and the symbol for schwa. He reviewed the use of schwa in an unaccented syllable as in the word "rocket." Christopher marked up five words from every substep in Book 3. He reviewed how to underline a base word and cirlce a suffix. Christopher reviewed the "ing" suffix and the "ed" suffix in words as "edited" and "punishing." Christopher scooped syllables on multisyllabic words and underlined digraphs and blends. He practiced underlining the blend "ct" and the word ending "ic." Christopher was then ready for the test. He read fifteen real words and got 15/15. He then read fifteen nonsense words and got 15/15. Christopher worked hard at following all the directions for markups on the test. He is doing well. On Monday, we will do the spelling test and then he will be able to move on to Book 4.
