The session began with the completion of the written portion from the previous lesson. Samantha spelled 5/7 real words and 5/5 nonsense words correctly. She is continuing to use tapping for the unknown words, which is good. She got 100% on the sentence dictation. For fluency she read a short paragraph from step 1.4. The welded sounds of an and am were introduced. Samantha read several words using the magnetic tiles. She also spelled words using the tiles. At times Samantha will read these closed syllable words using the incorrect vowel sound. We will continue to work on this. This should improve when she learns more about closed syllables. The session concluded with Samantha reading a list of step one words and correcting the ones that needed bonus letters added to them.
