I adore teaching Glen. We began with a phonological awareness exercise while he drew on the dry erase board; he has mastered level H, and we will move onto level I. He sequenced Alpha Chips in just over a minute. I reviewed the sound deck, except for "Y" and "ea" as vowels, he has the sounds and blends mastered. I reviewed spelling rules with sentence dictation. Glen is solid with c&k and FFLLSSZZ but is uncertain with -ck, -tch, and -dge endings. I will re-teach that rule next week. After quickly reviewing previously taught word roots, I explained the Latin root "script". We brainstormed words such as prescription, scribble, description, and manuscript. We watched a brief video on medieval illuminated manuscripts, and Glen read aloud an article about the topic. We concluded the session with Glen illustrating a page for his vocabulary notebook. He chose the word "prescription." Terrific work, Glen!
