Gabbie and I had a great session today. We began by reading aloud a chapter from a Series of Unfortunate Events. We then alternated reading a page with Orton-Gillingham exercises, including the following: Alpha Chip sequencing, sound deck review, Slap with various syllable types (CVC and VT). We spent the remainder of the session working with an FSA sample test. I focused on test-taking strategies. The teacher will read aloud the questions to Gabbie. Therefore it is imperative that she understands the language of the questions. Fortunately, this is predictable; we reviewed identifying the narrator, point of view, character description, a stanza in a poem, and how to find "evidence" in a text to back up an answer. When possible, I used our book as an example. It is clear to me that when Gabbie understands the question, she can answer it. Great work today!
