Lesson Outline
First, Sasha sequenced the alphabet using alpha chips. This remains a challenging exercise; Sasha had to pause several times to sing the alphabet song and regroup. Sasha identified the vowels, I re-taught the definition of a syllable, and she built CVC (closed syllables) to reinforce. I conducted visual and auditory drills, followed by a word fluency list of nonsense words (mixed short vowels and digraphs). I dictated the following spelling words: quit, quip, quiz, has, said. Sasha has the concept of qu /kw/ but continues reversal in letter formation. I dictated a sentence for Sasha to write and edit. Next, we practiced syllabicating two syllable words. Mastering this strategy will help Sasha to decode unfamiliar words. To conclude, I taught the concept of an open syllable (hi, be) and we played Connect Four with open and closed syllables to reinforce. We ran out of time and did not get to reading fluency; I will start with that next session.

Lesson Comments
Sasha was very distracted today. She is so sweet; I wish that I had more time with her.
