Kellan started his lesson today with Quick Drill in Reverse. He gave me the letters for all of the short vowel sounds. He pointed and named the digraphs and consonants: ch, f, z, l, k, z, and j. Kellan pointed and spelled the new welded sounds: all, am, and an. Kellan built words using magnetic tiles. He built the words bill, hiss, and lass. Kellan reviewed the concept of the bonus letter on words ending in the sounds of /f/, /l/, and /s/. Kellan spelled the words lib, quan, ram, pan and laz using the magnetic tiles. He practiced the sight words: day, see, they, over, new, and was on the whiteboard with colorful markers. Next, Kellan took his dictation test. He spelled all the words with the new welded sounds correctly. Kellan wrote nonsense words correctly and took dictation for three sentences. Kellan did the analysis on his dictation test. He spelled all sight words correctly. Kellan underlined digraphs and boxed welded sounds. He remembered on each of his sentences that a sentence starts with a capital letter. Kellan circled the puncturation with a red pen. He circled all the sight words. Kellan marked up the vowels and boxed the welded sounds on each of the words. Kellan did a great job on his dictation. Kellan read a short story called The Fan. He did a great job making visual images of Dan being very hot when he was in the den. Kellan did not know the meaning of the word "den" so we discussed this word in detail and talked about what type of furnishings would be in a den and what kind of activities take place in a den. We ended the lesson with more reading from the Because of Winn Dixie book. Kellan is at the part where Opal asks to learn ten things about her mother's personality.
