Eliana and I had a productive session. I began with phonological awareness (dropping a syllable in a three syllable word). Eliana did well and will move up a level next session. Next, she sequenced the alphabet. I noticed that she continues to confuse b and d, so we paused for several activities to address this skill (b/d "punches" and creating cards with key words to help her distinguish between the two). Eliana then built closed, open and silent-e syllables and we played a game of Phonics Dice to reinforce the concepts. We moved on to cursive, reviewing the letters learned (I, u, w, t) and Eliana learned to write words connecting the letters (it, wit, tut). For spelling, I dictated sentences for Eliana to write and edit (I can yell or buzz the bell. She will quit the game. She made a huge mess.) Eliana is close to mastery on the spelling of FLSZ and silent-e words. I taught Eliana to syllabicate words with closed syllables. She picked up the concept quickly and was able to divide and then read unfamiliar two and three syllable words. To conclude, I read a few pages of Junie B. Jones.
