Grace began her session by sorting pictures using medial vowel sounds - a, e, i, o, and u. She worked very hard on discerning the difference between the short e and short i vowel sounds. Before we even began, she said, " the two sounds are very close." After completing the picture sort, we went through a bunch of more unfamiliar CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words and worked on sounding them out. To complete our word work for the day, Grace sorted through pictures to find matching pairs. Once she found rhyming words, she glued them onto paper and wrote the word next to the picture. We went through them several times as Grace needed some repetition. Next, we went on to the Raz Kids program and listened to the story, I Love the Earth. After listening to the story, Grace read it herself and then took the comprehension quiz. We went through some additional reading comprehension questions and used a hard copy of the book to answer them and give concrete details. During this activity, we touched on the difference between fact and opinion.
