It was good to see Wyatt back at school today. I am glad that he wasn't sick! I began the session with a review of the sound deck with visual and blending drills. The deck included S blends (which I taught yesterday), and Wyatt picked up on the concept quickly. Today's new idea was the FFLLSSZZ spelling rule (in a single syllable word that ends in f, l, s, or z, double the final letter.) I introduced the concept, read, and dictated words for Wyatt to write on the dry erase board. To reinforce the idea, Wyatt read aloud the decodable book "Will Up at Bat." I dictated two sentences for Wyatt to write. We worked together to edit the sentences for capitalization, appearance, punctuation, and spelling.
