Kellan began his lesson by reciting all of the vowel sounds and their keywords: a,e,i,o, and u. He practiced consonants and digraphs sh, g, j, k, b, x, f, th, z, v, and qu. Kellan read the words: fob, paths, packs, Nell, sheds, mix, hill, fills, rib, fans, pill, dam, quits, pups, cab, and necks. On each word, he could tell me the baseword and the suffix where indicated. Kellan marked up all of these words using a whiteboard and dry erase marker. Kellan took the test on Book 1. He got 15/15 on real words, and 15/15 on nonsense words. Kellan also wrote fifteen words on the real test and on the nonsense test and marked up every baseword and circled the suffix. He marked up the closed vowel sounds. Kellan underlined the digraphs, starred the bonus letters, and boxed the welded sounds. Kellan has passed the reading portion of the test. Tomorrow he will take the spelling portion of the test. Kellan should be commended for this excellent work.
