Lesson Outline
Analise was waiting for me in the classroom with a book in hand. First, she asked if we could reread one of her favorite books and alternate parts, as we have done in prior sessions. She gets to choose the parts. With each reading, Analise increases her language sight word recognition, proficiency, fluency and articulation. She enjoys infusing the sentences with the appropriate emotions and found humor in the play of words when a character says "I am not a pony", I am a "phony!" - emphasizing the differences between the two beginning sounds. We sounded out words that were a bit more challenging, and when a word re-appeared, Analise demonstrated good visual recall and repeated the word correctly. We then moved onto a book I had taken out of the library - "Mariposa and the Fairy Princess - Fairy Dreams." This book had a lot of illustrations and more of a plot than prior books. It was a bit more difficult, with unusual names, and some of the words proved a bit more challenging, but Analise remained steadfast in sounding them out. At the conclusion of the story, I presented her with 15 oral questions to determine her comprehension of the literary material - and Analise achieved 14 out of 15 correct (93%), demonstrating that she understands the literary content of the material she reads very well. She was encouraged to identify the descriptive adjectives used to describe the characters, and their attire, and did so quite adeptly, using many of the adjectives used by the author but adding emphasis in her inflection and tone. When Analise knew that it was time for lunch, she politely asked if I could trace her body as I had done for her sisters last week I explained that a promise is a promise, and we would surely do so after lunch.
