Kellan started his lesson by playing Quick Drill in Reverse. He practiced all the vowels including the schwa sound. Kellan practiced the sounds and letters for the digraphs and consonants: sh, g, f, m, z, h, j, and wh. He practiced the welded sounds: ang, ost, olt, ind, am, and ing. Kellan spelled a stack of two syllable words by tapping on cards faced downward. He spells the word one syllable at a time and turns the card over when he has completed that syllable. This activity is to teach Kellan to break a word into syllables before he attempts to spell the word. Kellan worked on dividing words into syllables and doing markups for: sandwich, dragon, chestnut, seventh, absent, cricket, plastic, and kingdom. Kellan was reminded that in a two-syllable word the ending /k/ sound is very often spelled with a "c" as in the word: frantic. Next, Kellan took his dictation test. He did a great job on all his sight words and got 5/5. Kellan got all the sounds right and spelled the real words and nonsense words correctly. Kellan wrote three sentences. We worked on the analysis of these sentences. Kellan had some difficulty spelling the word "trumpet." We used the whiteboard for him to test a word spelling before putting the word on his paper. This method seemed to help with the spelling of the word "island." Kellan had spelled the word correctly when we practiced with the whiteboard, but when he had to write it on a test on paper, he misspelled the word. The use of the whiteboard helped Kellan to remember how to spell the word. At the next lesson, we will do the paragraph reading and then Kellan will be ready to move on to 3.3.
