Glen and I had a fantastic session today. First, Glen sequenced Alpha Chips and completed a phonological awareness exercise. Glen read two oral reading fluency passages with good prosody and comprehension. I reviewed the word roots taught so far and introduced the root "fort," which means strong. We brainstormed words that include the root, such as fortitude, fortify, and reinforce. Glen illustrated a page for his vocabulary notebook, choosing the word "reinforce" as his example. He read aloud an article about Fort Sumpter and the beginning of the Civil War. We concluded the session researching Braille; one of the oral reading passages was about Braille, and Glen was curious to learn more. Great work today, Glen!
