The session began with the introduction of the closed syllable. The rules for this type of syllable were given and several words were written by Samantha to reinforce the concept. Digraphs were then reviewed. The next set of words Samantha will work on include blends. Samantha read several closed syllable words that had blends and/or digraphs -- both real and nonsense words were included. She will continue to work on this concept for the next lesson.
