Will enjoyed eating some pizza that was offered to students as part of today's treat. He clearly enjoyed this very much and requested additional small slices, after which we proceeded to a classroom to work on phonics. He completed several animated online lessons addressing essential reading and phonics skills. The variety of activities within each lesson provided him with the repetition needed for these skills to become part of his phonemic awareness repertoire and long term memory. We continue to emphasize the beginning letter articulation as this is as yet facilitative to performance, but Will achieved about 90% mastery identifying and distinguishing words when tasked. In fact, he did not want to leave when the session ended as he was earning golden eggs as rewards for the progress he made. I assured him we'd continue where we left off in our next session.
