Ethan began his session by playing a board game called Reading Skills Review: Time Machine. In the game, players stumble upon a time machine and use their reading skills to travel through time. Each player is to make their way around the board, reading and answering leveled story cards that propel them from prehistoric times to the distant future. The story cards cover a variety of reading skills including: main idea, context clues, read for detail, find cause and effect, form contractions, find synonyms and more. The questioning also covers several aspects of Bloom's Taxonomy. Ethan loved playing the game and we were able to have several mini-lessons based around questions that he had difficulty answering. Ethan had difficulty with contractions - so we decided to focus on some contraction games next week. After the reading game, I introduced Ethan to Hangman. Hangman is a wonderful game that helps students examine the different letter patterns of words. We specifically focused on vowels, consonants, blends, and popular letters. Ethan did an excellent job with Hangman and really enjoyed guess the words.
