Kellan started his lesson by practicing marking up two-syllable words with two syllable types, closed vowel and vowel-consonant-e. First, Kellan marked up the review words: shares, rules, and names. He underlined the base word and circled the suffix. Kellan marked the vowel sound with the v-e symbol. Next, Kellan marked up the words: clambake, caveman, manhole, fishline, and escape. Kellan practiced the sight words: Mr., Mrs., during, and before. Next, Kellan reviewed the dictation test he took on May 17th. Kellan marked up ten words from the 4.2 lesson, demonstrating that he could distinguish between a closed vowel sound which is "short" and a vowel-consonant-e sound which is "long." Kellan got all of the sight words spelled correctly. He then worked on the analysis of the sentence. Kellan has become independent in this activity and knows all of the symbols that he needs to show in order to successfully pass this lesson in Wilson. Next time we will read the story selection and do comprehension before moving on to the lesson 4.3.
