As always, Glen was a delight to teach today. We accomplished the following Orton-Gillingham activities: phonological awareness, sound deck review with visual, auditory, and blending drills. Glen syllabicated a list of unfamiliar, multisyllabic words; he has mastered the closed, open, R-controlled, and vowel team syllable types. I taught him the consonant-le syllable type, and we syllabicated a list of multisyllabic words. What I enjoy most about Glen is his intellectual curiosity; he wants to know what the words mean, which led to conversation. Glen read two timed oral reading fluency passages (6th-grade level) with excellent accuracy, prosody, and comprehension. He even added anecdotal stories!
To conclude, I reviewed a deck of irregular words with Glen; I told him my goal was to find two words that he didn't know for next week. He read 113 words before he missed two!! It was a fun way to end the session.
