Today we worked on /th/ in sentences with 85% accuracy. He does a great job when he knows /th/ is in the word. He still demonstrates difficulty with habitual errors in common words (I.e. “something”) We continued by working on describing attributes while using /sh/ words. I provided Richard multiple prompts to swallow excess saliva collecting in his mouth to reduce the “slushy” quality of articulation. He also spent a good amount of time playing with a loose wire from his braces that was really bothering him.
We continued our shared reading of non-fiction text from Monday. We made predictions and discussed/defined grade level non-fiction words. He requested that we finish this book and I was excited to see him requesting the reading portion of our time together. After this task he requested a five minute brain break. He was able to advocate for himself and tell me he needed a second before we continued. We finished our session working on irregular plurals. He did a great job with 80% accuracy given a word bank read aloud to him.
