Patrick played Fly Swatter with his r blend spelling words. He identified words containing the br, cr, dr, fr, gr and tr blends. I wrote two of each on the board, and verbalized which word to search for. I noticed that he would look to the r blend he heard, but was not conscious of the remaining sounds in the middle and end; therefore after her eliminated the other r blends that did not have the sound mentioned, it was a 50% chance he would pick the correct one. For the remainder of the game, I had him read each word, and be able to eliminate it once he read it. This helped with guaranteeing he was reading across the entire word. He is successful at hearing and identifying the dr sound, even though these sounds and spelling patterns are brand new for him. He read Move It! and answered comprehension questions. He did a great job of joining to predicates with "and" in his written response question. He read Move and Grin, giving him an opportunity to read his sight words in context. His reading is improving. We worked on identifying and writing possessive nouns. Please have him re-read Move and Grin and complete the remaining possessive noun questions in his workbook for homework.
