Kellan continued his lesson by writing the last sentence on his dictation. Kellan then did the analysis on the sentences. He underlined the first letter of the beginning of a sentence to remember to capitalize it. Kellan circled the sight words. He marked up the vowels in the words with short vowels and boxed the welded sounds in words like Pam and ham. Kellan recognized and marked up the bonus letter"l" in the word "mill." Kellan read the reading for 1.5 titled Pam and Jam. We discussed the meaning of the word "jam." Kellan was unfamiliar with the word. He looked at a jar of strawberry jam I had in my house. Kellan discussed the meaning of the story by expressing that the problem of the story was that Dad did not have any jam. Kellan decided to illustrate the story. He made wonderfully distinct characters to go with the story. Kellan next worked on the nonsense lesson of Book 1.5. He recited the vowels with their keywords. Kellan practiced sh, g, f b, r, x, z, and n. He practiced the welded sounds: am, an, and all. Kellan read the words moth, puff, and shell from the magnetic letters. He then read the words ham, chum, fuss, shan and quam from the magnetic board. Kellan was reminded that we were working on nonsense words. Next, Kellan read a large stack of words from 1.5 including real words and nonsense words. He read ten sentences from p. 76 and did the scooping of phrases on the page that he downloaded and printed. Kellan was charted using the words on p. 74. He got 15/15 on the nonsense words. Next week we will finish this lesson. Kellan is very close to moving to 1.6 and the end of Book One!
