I reviewed the sound deck with visual, auditory, and blending drills. Glen syllabicated three-syllable words with ease. For oral reading fluency, Glen read excerpts from two historical speeches, Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" and FDR's "First Inaugural Address," notable for the quote "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." We watched a YouTube clip of FDR delivering that portion of the speech. I taught the Latin root struct, we brainstormed example words and reviewed the 22 prefixes, suffixes, and roots that I have taught Glen so far. Finally, I re-visited the irregular words that tripped Glen up last session (thorough and truth.) He read and spelled them with ease! We discussed what part of each word was irregular or unexpected. Excellent work, Glen! I will have to work harder next week :)
