Patrick and I choral read a chapter from his book. He did a wonderful job. He also asked questions and discussed details throughout the book. Then I chose 10 words from the book for Patrick to decode and read independently. He was mostly successful with this. We are really focusing on finding small parts of words and blending them together. Patrick is still confusing parts of words with small words. When he can identify small word parts within one word, he thinks it is a compound word. We will work on the difference between word parts and smaller words within larger words. After that, Patrick continued his repeated "At the Beach". He read fluently with no mistakes!!!! He is doing great:) Lastly we reread his paragraph from Monday to edit and revise mistakes. He was so focused and positive today! I love his energy!!!!
