I began a YouTube video, "Why is English So Weird," which explores the etymology of our language, a genuine interest of Glen's. Next, I conducted a phonological awareness exercise, level K1#2. I reviewed the sound deck with visual, auditory, and blending drills. We discussed last week's lesson, ei and eigh spellings of /A/ and also the three pronunciations of -ed (/ed/, /id/, /t/), and I dictated examples for Glen to write. I taught two new prefixes (pre, non) and the root (flex, flect) and reviewed all roots, prefixes, and suffixes. To conclude, Glen read two poems, "Three Foxes by the Edge of the Field at Twilight" by Jane Hirshfield and "The Parakeet" by Alberto Blanco.
