I assessed Jack's phonological awareness (the ability to hear and manipulate sounds within a word) using a tool called PAST. Phonological awareness is highly predictive of reading success. Jack shows weakness at the level of substituting one phoneme of a beginning blend ("say grew, now say grew but instead of /g/ say /t/"). Next, I conducted a review of the sound deck with visual, auditory, and blending drills. Graphemes for the visual drill included h, l, w, s, f, I, k, z, d, t, m, f, x, p, n, a, e, u, o. For the auditory drill, Jack wrote the letters for the following sounds: /a/, /s/, /k/, /o/, /l/. I notice that Jack struggles to form some lowercase letters and substitutes them with uppercase letters. Jack decoded a list of consonant-vowel-consonant words. I dictated the following words for him to spell: fun, hum, pot. Finally, Jack sequenced the alphabet using manipulative letters. He identified the vowels and the consonants and discussed the vowels in his and his brothers' names.
