Using the Sadlier Vocabulary Workshop, level E, Vlad and I continued where we left off. We worked our way through Unit 13, doing all the exercises, running from page 164 to 173. We then moved on to Unit 14, doing all the exercises, running from page 174 to 182. We did not get to Unit 15, the last unit in the textbook. Today was Vlad's last day of class.

Lesson Comments
If we could go back in time, I would have recommended that Vlad be required to take a year or two of Wilson training. Vlad has difficulty pronouncing words. It would appear he has not had any training in phonics. As a result, for example, Vlad mispronounced "behave" and "cleaniness," among several other words. I followed up and helped Vlad correct his pronounciations, and Vlad graciously accepted my corrections. I need to add that I feel badly about Vlad's poor training in phonetics because mispronouncing words, especially "easy words," can work against a person in a social situation. Apart from his need to improve his ability at sounding out words, Vlad has been an outstanding student. He is dedicated to doing well. He is resourceful. He has a clear vision of where he wants to be, and he is committed to reaching his goals. Today being his last day as my student, I wished him well in the future.
