L.A.
* We reviewed the same words from last week reinforcing the correct spelling of these words. These words are from the first 40 most commonly written words. We also danced, sang, and chanted the spelling of these words.
* Maverick reviewed the short/long vowel sounds in nonsense and real words.
*Worked on short vowel patterns of “ack” “eck”, “ick” “uck” and long pattern “ake”, “ike”, “uke” “oke” .
*Syllables- “closed” (CVC/ C) and “open” (VCV) syllable patterns- I gave him many nonsense and real words to divide and read. He needed to plug in a short or long vowel after dividing the word into syllables, giving practice while working towards mastery of this reading pattern. He was also given many words that he had to divide the word into two parts following the syllable rules.
* Test-taking strategies were reviewed and practiced. He was given a practice assessment from the “FSA Practice Test Book” test #1 in which he had to apply the test taking strategies. This activity had 1 short written response. He applied the “RACE” format of answering the questions.
