I began with a one-minute phonological awareness exercise. Phonological awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate sounds within a word and is highly predictive of reading and spelling success. Next, I re-taught Colson the -ge and-dge spelling pattlern. We created a deck of example words. Colson will practice the words until he independly spells them correctly over three sessions. The ability to syllabicate unfamiliar words is an important skill. After re-teaching syllabication strategies, I presented Colson with approximately 15 unfamiliar, three-syllable words (Angling for Words, p 36). With practice, this skill will become automatic. To conclude, Colson read an ESPN article summarizing last nights Kansas City Chiefs- Buffalo Bills AFC football game. When Colson encountered an unfamiliar word that he could not read, we paused for him to practice syllabication strategies.
