Christopher started his lesson today reciting the vowel sounds with their key words. He reviewed the consonants and digraphs: ch, f, z, and h. Christopher reviewed the welded sounds of ang, ing, olt, and ive. Christopher worked on a sorting game working with words with closed vowel, vowel consonant e, vowel consonant e exception, open vowel, and base word with suffix. Chrisotpher had to read the word and then put it in under the correct heading to review all of the vowel sounds learned so far. The open vowel sound is the pure long vowel sound in such words as we, me, go, and sky. In the case of "sky", the vowel y is an open vowel with the sound of long i. Christopher needs review of all of these sounds before we can move forward. He worked hard to classify the words he was given.
