I introduced magic E which Patrick was familiar with. He easily read closed syllable words with magic e added (hope/hope, cub,cube). Next he read word cards from Step 3.5 and step 4.1, multi syllabic words with welded sounds, then silent E words. He was just a little restless from his previous session so I taught him some of the loop letters for cursive writing. This calmed him right down and he was able to focus. He read words lists with Magic E words and got 15 out of 15 correct. Then he read 10 sentences for fluency. After he completed the sentences, he read a three paragraph story and was able to retell in his own words. He did a great job on his reading and was enthusiastic about the cursive writing.
