Patrick played short o Bingo with the following word families; ot, op, og, ock, oss, and ond. He did a great job of identifying the short o words as a whole. He took his short o spelling test and many times applied the consonant digraphs and blends we've been working on. While other times, he left them out initially, but went back to self correct after he repeated the word and noticed a missing sound. I gave him an option of using a mystery sentence for his dictation sentence, or if he wanted to come up with his own. He impressed himself when he came up with the sentence containing 4 sight words and 3 of his spelling words, while it making sense. "We will stop at the frog pond." Without prompting, he left off capitalization and punctuation, but when I asked him to "edit" his work, he recalled what to do. He scored 8/10 on his spelling test. The 2 words he missed were floss/toss, in which he left off the "bonus letter s when following a short vowel" both times. In his dictation sentence, he left off the "bonus letter l" in will and the "consonant blend fr" in frog. Those rules will solidify over time. He only needed prompting of, "Something is missing from this word," for him to recognize what it was.
