I began with visual, auditory, and blending drills. We reviewed the r-controlled syllable type (er, ir, ur, ar, or). Eliana read multiple word lists to practice (Recipe for Reading, pp. 135, 137, 139). Eliana's spelling deck from last session included -ar words; I dictated these words and Eliana has near-mastery of the spelling pattern. I introduced the vowel team -ai, and created a spelling deck of example words. Eliana loves practicing cursive; we reviewed all letters, and I introduced f, m, and n. Eliana is eager to connect letters and attempted a page of two and three connected letters. To conclude, Eliana read several oral passages from Wilson, book 3.
