I continued the lesson on the -ti and -ci /sh/ endings (Megawords 7, List 37, p. 61). Colson read examples of words with -cial, -tial, -cious, -tious, -cient, -tient, -tience endings. I dictated the following words for Colson to spell: gracious, partial, financial, delicious, patience, patient, initial, infectious, nutritious, especially. We reviewed morphology and SAT words to build his vocabulary. To conclude, Colson read a timed oral reading fluency passage (Megawords 2, List 11, p. 47) and answered reading comprehension questions. I emphasized looking to the text for the answer, putting the answer in his own words, and inferring meaning beyond the literal.
