Glen was in his car at a marina, but his mom found a pencil and paper, and Glen wanted to work! I was very impressed with his work ethic. I began with a phonological awareness exercise, level K2#1. Next, I reviewed the sound deck with visual, auditory, and blending drills. We re-visited the following irregular words for spellings: thorough, truth, sign, muscle, and machine. We played a game of "word root Pictionary." I showed Glen two cards pulled at random from the deck (unseen by me.) He drew a picture, and I had to guess the root. Next, Glen read a sixth-grade passage from ReadWorks about the Code of Hammurabi with excellent accuracy.
To conclude, we practiced syllabicating words. Great work, Glen. Have a terrific summer; I hope to work with you in the fall.
