Kellan started his lesson today by practicing sight words using a whiteboard and colorful markers. Kellan practiced the words: does, during, about, under, Mr., Mrs., before, and going. Kellan needed extra practice on the words "during" and "going." Next, Kellan read fifteen words for the charting test. He had difficulty with the words: closeup and escape. Kellan's pronunciation was close, but he did not recognize a word due to a slight misuse of the "s" on closeup as a /z/ and separation of the two syllables in escape, making the word unrecognizable to him. We reviewed these pronunciations. Kellan got 13/15 on this test. Kellan read ten sentences on p. 44 and used a vis-a-vis marker to scoop phrases. Kellan played Quick Drill in Reverse and practiced all the v-e vowels with the correct extension to indicate a long vowel. He would say a-consonant-e, for example. Kellan practiced the consonants and digraphs: b, v, g, s, l, n, p, qu, r, y, and ck. He practiced the welded sounds: ind, olt, ing, unk, onk, and ang. Kellan read the words: shares, rules, and names. He could tell me the baseword and suffix and the vowel syllable type for each of these. Kellan read the 4.2 words: clambake, caveman, manhole, fishline, and escape. Kellan spelled the sight words: Mr., Mrs., during, before, and going. Kellan completed all of his dictation for 4.2. We will work on analysis next week after testing.
