Wyatt did a great job today. I began with a review of the sound deck with auditory and blending drills. Wyatt came up with the idea of rolling the dice to pick the vowels for the blending exercise; this kept him engaged. We played a syllable counting and sorting game; Wyatt stomped his feet to count the syllables. Next, we talked about the definition of a syllable (part of a word with one vowel sound), and I taught Wyatt about the closed syllable (a vowel followed by one or more consonants; the vowel makes its short sound.) Wyatt read aloud a book by Flyleaf Publishing call "C or K?" which he seemed to enjoy.
