Patrick used letter magnets to build words with r blends. (br, cr, dr, fr, gr, pr, tr) He would hear a word, identify it, create it, and then manipulate phonemes to create a new word containing one or more common spelling patterns. (Ex: trip---trick) He decided if each word was a noun or verb. He was expected to choose his favorite r blend noun and show who had possession of it by adding 's. We brainstormed many examples together and Patrick showed he understood this concept. Verbally, he was very capable of coming up with a sentence, but when it was time to transfer that thought onto paper, it was very difficult for him. He was introduced to his sight words of the week by looking at a photograph and reading the term in a sentence. We discussed the meaning of each and he gave an example of each. He read Move It! a nonfiction piece about the various ways our bodies move, which also gave him a chance to read his sight words in context. He verbally answered the respond to reading questions beautifully. For hw: re-read Move It! to gain fluency and practice r blend page and sight words in closed sentences.
