Christopher started the lesson reading words with the new sound of "ive." He reviewed the vowel-consonant-e exception words for "ive" like: massive, olive, and expressive. Christopher was also introduced to the Wilson concept that a word ending in a /v/ sound is always spelled with a silent "e" at the end of the word. Christopher reviewed the words: twelve, and solve. We also discussed how the "ive" sound might not be an exception sometimes as in the word: five. Christopher learned that he has to apply his knowledge to the context of the material he is reading. Christopher reviewed the words: valentine, athlete, and firemen using the magnetic letters. He read the words: obsessive, compulsive, and intensive. Christopher played "ladder" by reading a large stack of 4.4 words including nonsense words. He had a good response to these and just needed a little help on the words: intensive. and inexpensive. Christopher practiced sight words: does, sound, found, book, and wanted. He read the 4.4 word list and scored 15/15. Christopher read ten sentences on p. 64. He did very well on recognizing phrases where scooping the phrase would be appropriate, separating a prepostional phrase. Christopher proceeded to play Quick Drill in Reverse. He practiced: sh, p, g, ch, and x. He practiced the welded sounds: ive, ind, old, olt, ing, and am. He got all of the sounds right. He then practiced spelling using the syllable cards. At the next session, Christopher will be on dictation.
