Christopher began his lesson reciting all of the sounds of the vowels. Christopher referred to the chart of vowels to assist with the new guide words that are now part of his recitation portion. Christopher then reviewed the consonants and digraphs: th, ck, qu, and t. He practiced the welded sounds: all old, ind, unk, onk, and ing. Christopher reviewed the vowel-consonant-e rule and the vowel-consonant-e exception "ive" as well as a word that ends with the /v/ sound. He read: inexpensive, disruptive, and dissolve from the magnetic tiles. Christopher then reviewed the meaning of "open vowel." This is a word that has a vowel that is not closed by a consonant. Christopher read the words: flu, try, spry, she, and why from the magnetic tiles. In the case of words that end in "y" as a vowel, Christopher reviewed the sound of "y" when it says long /i./ Christopher played the snowboard game to practice a stack of 5.1 words. He used colorful markers to practice the sight words: would, bird, out, school, and your. Christopher needed a little help to spell the words school and bird correctly, but he quickly got the word right after our review. Christopher read ten sentences and scooped phrases using a vis-a-vis marker. He took the charting test and scored 15/15. Christopher did well in his lesson today.
