Kellan started his lesson on Teams today. He began the lesson by reciting the vowels and the guidewords to go with them. Kellan practiced the sounds of j, g, z, s, m, p, qu, and ck. He is still having a little problem with "j" calling it "g." This will work out after a few more sessions. Kellan then read words from my whiteboard. He read bell, hiss, and ball. We reviewed the concept of the bonus letter when a one-syllable word ends in f, l, or s. Kellan read the words pan, jam, ram, ham, and Sam. He was introduced to the concept of the "welded" sounds. These are letters that work well together and make a sound component of a word. Kellan read a large stack of words from 1.5 including real words, nonsense words, and B words. Kellan practiced marking up the new words on a whiteboard with colorful markers. He learned to box a welded sound. Kellan practiced classifying a large stack of words into three groups: all, am, and an. Kellan read words from the 1.5 charting page and got 15/15. He then read ten sentences that were sent through email and printed at Kellan's house. Kellan scooped the sentence phrases showing good reading pauses and prosody. Kellan was asked questions about punctuation and about the welded sounds found in the sentences. He needed some help with these. Kellan played Quick Drill in Reverse. I used my magnetic board at home. Kellan was given a sound and he was able to tell me what letter makes that sound. Kellan wrote the review words: call, pill, and dig. He needed review on starring a bonus letter as in the word "pill" and he needed help to remember which letters get doubled at the end of a word when he spelled "digg" in error. These concepts were reviewed in the lesson. Kellan began writing the word Jan for an example of the welded sound "an." We will continue with spelling next week.
