I continued the lesson on middle-syllable schwa; Colson read and spelled example words (emphasize, complement, chocolate, insulin) syllabicating if necessary. He read a timed oral-reading fluency passage (Megawords 3, List 18, p. 77) in one minute, ten seconds with no errors. He correctly answered the reading comprehension questions, referring to the text as necessary. We reviewed his morphology list, including the word parts' meaning, spelling, and example words. I taught him the cursive letters of his first name; he practiced each letter independently and connected. I will be absent tomorrow; in preparation for his substitute, I introduced the short story they will co-read, "The Hitchhiker" by Lucille Fletcher.
