The session began with a brief discussion about reading two syllable words. Samantha was asked to read the nonsense words from step 3.1 only. These words are problematic for her because they are unfamiliar. The instructor showed Samantha how to cover each syllable to help her read these words. She is having some difficulty in reading some of these words. Samantha tends to add sounds to a syllable that are not in the word. The instructor is trying to guide her to look at each letter in a syllable and the identify each sound. After reading the word cards Samantha was asked to complete the charting part of the lesson. She was given three lists of real words to read and did a great job on all three lists. One of the sets of words had the schwa sound in one of the syllables. The instructor discussed this sound with Samantha prior to her reading these words. At the next session it is planned to review the words from step 3.1 and have her practice spelling two syllable words using syllable cards. The written part of the lesson will follow the practice session..
