We began the session with a sentence editing worksheet from Cade's school. Cade marked the capitalization and punctuation and then re-wrote the correct sentences. I noticed that Cade had difficulty identifying a complete sentence. I explained that "a sentence has a subject and a verb and is a complete thought." Next, I evaluated Cade's phonics using the Quick Phonics Screener; I will tally the data and report on it in the next session. We went outside for a quick break, playing ping pong and a card game of SLAP with open closed, and r-controlled syllables.
To conclude, we went back inside to practice syllabication strategies for VCCV and VCV words. We previewed and started from his school textbook, identifying the title and author and illustrating and highlighting vocabulary. We will read the story in the next session. Great work, Cade!
