Cade arrived with a language arts packet that his mother wanted him to complete. We practiced his spelling words (both auditory and on the white board). I was pleased that Cade could easily spell the words. He read a passage about stars and answered the comprehension questions. We went outside for a break, playing pickle ball as we reviewed his spelling words. Back inside, I conducted a one-minute phonological awareness exercise. Phonological awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the sounds within words and is predictive of reading and spelling success. Cade practiced syllabicating unfamiliar VC/CV words; I am pleased that he is confident in using the strategy of identifying the vowels and dividing the words. To conclude, Cade decorated a cover for his session notebook.
