The session began with a brief review of closed syllables. Samantha was given a column of words -- some were closed syllable words and others were not. She had to highlight the closed syllable words and then read them. Next she read the words from step 2.1, 2.2 and 2.4. She was fluent with the given words -- some were real and some were nonsense. She charted 15/15 on one set and then charted 13/15 on a second set of words from this step. For the written portion of the lesson Samantha spelled 6/6 real words and 4/4 nonsense words correctly. She spelled 2/3 sight words correctly and both of the dictated sentences were written accurately. The session concluded with the introduction of the closed syllable exceptions. Samantha practiced reading several of these exceptions.
