Kellan started his lesson by reviewing and analyzing his dictation. Kellan wrote all the sounds correctly. He scooped the syllables on the real words and marked up the vowels. Kellan marked up the nonsense words and scooped them into syllables. Kellan reviewed the rule about dividing a syllable between two consonants. Kellan spelled all of the sight words correctly. Next, Kellan reviewed the sentences. He worked on all the analysis independently and does a good job of circling sight words and marking up every word in the sentence. Kellan read the sentences back to me and was able to spell keywords orally when they were covered up for an oral quiz. Next, Kellan read the story, The Red Sox Win. In this story, the Red Sox are playing the Mets. The first thing we had to establish was Kellan's knowledge of how baseball is played. Kellan worked with me as we wrote a complete diagram of the game of baseball with descriptions of each type of play. Kellan drew the "little men" on the bases and lining up to bat. We wrote a definition, a sentence, and a diagram generated by Kellan for the words inning, home run, frantic, modest, and a grand slam. Kellan looked at diagrams of baseball games showing a grand slam. Kellan was able to read the story and retell the episodes in the story in his own words.
