I began with a review of the syllable types learned so far (closed, open, silent-e, er/ir/ur). I introduced a new r-controlled syllable, -ar. Eliana read a list of example words. I created a spelling deck of -ar words for Eliana to work on with Ms. Pat. We reviewed all cursive learned so far: i, u, w, r, s, j, p, y, c, o, a, d, g, q, e, h. I introduced a new letter, k. Eliana is enjoying learning cursive and is doing well! I concluded with an oral reading passage from Wilson book 3, "Fun Until Sunset." Eliana read the passage twice to improve her fluency (rate + accuracy).
