Kellan started his lesson by spelling five sight words using the whiteboard and colorful markers. Kellan knew the words: have and your. He had difficulty with our and out. Kellan worked on a mini-lesson to help him learn the homonyms: there, their, and they're. Kellan heard the words used in sentences. He practiced writing each of the spellings for the homonyms. Kellan played a game where he heard a sentence and had to choose the correct spelling of there, their, and they're. Next, Kellan read the words: prune and Steve from the whiteboard. These were review words. Kellan marked up the words with v-e, and underlined blends correctly. Kellan then read ten sentences on page 18. Kellan had difficulty with the word, "band". He sometimes sees an "r" when it is not there. Next, Kellan played Quick Drill in Reverse. His new challenge is to hear the long sound of a vowel and remember to tell me that it is "a-consonant-e." This is the indicator that the vowel is long and says its own name. Kellan practiced the consonants and digraphs: g, f, r,s, ck, sh, qu, and v. Kellan practiced the welded sounds: am ang, old, ost, ind, olt, ing, and unk. He used the magnetic tiles to build the words: strikes, flakes, and tribe. Remembering to put the silent "e" at the end of the word is still not second nature. Kellan worked through much correction today to remember to add the silent "e" at the end of a long vowel-consonant-e word. Kellan built the real and nonsense words: glute, smule, waves, prunes, and whines. Kellan reviewed the use of "wh" in the words that means "to howl" or "whine." Next, Kellan started dictation. He learned how to take the sound test where he must remember to write v-e after the vowel that he writes. Kellan was given a model to assist his memory for this task. Kellan successfully wrote five real words, five nonsense words, and five sight words. Kellan will complete the dictation on Wednesday.
