I began with a one-minute phonological awareness exercise, followed by alphabetic awareness. Eliana correctly identified the number of letters, vowels, consonants and sequenced the letters in just over a minute (a big improvement over last session, four minutes). We discussed the concept of a syllable (a word or a part of a word with one vowel sound). Eliana correctly built closed, open, and silent-E syllables. This will be important when Eliana learns to syllabicate multi-syllable, unfamiliar words. I conducted visual, auditory, and blending drills with all letters and digraphs. I reviewed last session's new concept, silent-E, dictating example words and sentences. I introduced two "sight" words, does and said. We made a spelling deck for Eliana to review with Ms. Pat. Eliana began cursive, learning the letters i and u. I sent pages home for her to practice. To conclude, we co-read a chapter of a Junie B. Jones book which Eliana seemed to enjoy.
