Lesson Outline
Wyatt was having internet problems, so we rescheduled for 11:00. I began with a phonological awareness exercise; Wyatt moved up to level D2, which asks him to delete one syllable of a two-syllable word. Next, I reviewed the sound deck, with visual, auditory, and blending drills. Wyatt inadvertently dropped the call at 9:16. I texted his dad, and we re-connected at 9:22. I shared an Elkonin Box exercise on the screen. Wyatt had to identify several clip art images (key, bee, fish) and count how many letter sounds he heard in each word (key and bee have 2, fish has 3.) I then revealed the boxes and dragged a counter into each box as we said the letter sounds together. Next, we played a sorting game. Again, Wyatt identified clip art images (web, duck, pie) and counted the letter sounds he heard in each word. I then dragged the images into a bucket marked 2 or 3. Next session, I would like to give Wyatt control of the screen. I think that he will feel more engaged if he can drag the images.

Lesson Comments
I am trying to be patient with repeated rescheduling as I realize that internet troubles are a fact of life. However, when my schedule fills up in the fall, I might be unable to reschedule for an hour or two later. When Wyatt disconnected, it took 10 minutes for Ed to realize. Wyatt told him that my computer died, but this was not the case, and I documented this (calling back 4 times, sending a Chat, and I texted Ed and Elise.) Ed was visibly irritated with Wyatt.
