I began with syllabication; Colson syllabicated unfamiliar words with -ou- (Angling for Words, 179-180). I reviewed the drop-e change rule for words ending in y; Colson has mastered this skill. For morphology work, I reviewed the morphemes learned and taught the following: tele, aqua, auto, sub. To build his vocabulary further, I found a list of 100 SAT vocabulary words and taught him the words abject and abate. We will develop and review a deck of words.
To conclude, Colson read two oral reading fluency passages and answered written reading comprehension questions (Megawords 1, List 5, p. 64 and List 6, p. 83). I encouraged Colson to refer to the text for his answers but to put the answer in his own words. To improve the complexity of his sentence structure, I taught him the apposive phrase.
