Kellan started his lesson by writing the nonsense words: tibs, thigs, qualls, jops, and zups on the whiteboard. Kellan underlined the base word and circled the suffix. He had a little trouble with "qu" first writing a "g" and then writing a "q" and leaving out the "u." Kellan wrote the sight words: egg and what. Kellan took his dictation test. He got five sounds correct. He wrote subs, rots, fibs, bugs, and maps. He was able to underline all of the basewords and circled the suffixes. Kellan marked up all the short vowels correctly. He wrote the nonsense words: sups, puds, thims, luns, and queds. Kellan got all of these correct. Kellan wrote three dictation sentences. Kellan marked up the capitalization, punctuation, sight words, baseword and suffixes, digraphs, and bonus letters. Kellan is remembering all of the details that make up critical reading in Wilson. We finished the session with the reading of chapter 5 and half of chapter 6 in Because of Winn Dixie. We defined the word Pew as it was used in the text. Next session we will review and test for the mastery of Book 1.
