Patrick and I finished reading his non-fiction book about dolphins. We took turns reading and I help Patrick apply decoding skills as he needed them. We talked about the things we learned from the book and the things we already knew. Patrick showed excellent comprehension in non-fiction text. Next we played spelling bingo with words from his repeated reading passage (pug, bug, rug, run, sun, dig, big, hug, mug, bun). First he read the the cards for me to write and then I read the cards for him write. He was mostly successful and seemed to enjoy himself:) Then he chose a familiar chunk (-ouch) to build words with. This was quite challenging for him. I modeled how to use the letters of the alphabet and chunks to build words with the chunk -ug. He then reread his fluency passage showing significant progress from last week. He went from making 16 errors to 7. I explained to him the purpose of repeated reading and he chose to make a personal goal for himself! He made the goal of getting down to 2 errors. Lastly, Patrick wrote a sentence in his journal about his favorite stuffed animal.
