Lesson Outline
I assessed Jack using the CORE Phonics survey; the results will guide my instruction. Jack correctly identified all 26 uppercase letters; he identified 25/26 lowercase letters (he confuses b and d). He correctly identified 21/21 consonant sounds, including the hard and soft sounds of c and g. For vowel sounds, he correctly identified 5/5 of the long vowel sounds. He correctly identified 3/5 short vowel sounds (he misarticulated the short sound for a, saying /o/, and for u, he said /yu/. Next, he read short vowel words (consonant-vowel-consonant), reading 10/15 correctly. He struggled with short e and short I words (reading lat for let, fut for fit, sit for set, and pim for pem). When asked to read consonant blend words with short vowels, Jack read 4/15 correctly. He read trap as top, quit as quot, spell as spall, sank as snak, lump as lip, held as hiled, dilt as built, qued as quilt, and dran as drain.) I concluded the assessment, and we played sight word Jenga for the remaining time. Given the results of this limited assessment, it is my opinion that Jack would benefit from regular Orton-Gillingham instruction.

Lesson Comments
This was a limited assessment, but the results showed several red flags, in my opinion. Jack is not consistent with his short vowel sounds. His decoding skills are weak. He adds a schwa sound to many letters, which could complicate his ability to spell. He has memorized an incredible number of sight words, however.
