WE started the session with guided reading books "We Go" and "We Sit" reinforcing skills and strategies to figure out unknown words. Nicholas ran his finger under each word as I read them. We would try to figure out the sound of the initial letter of unknown words. We used the pictures to mainly assist in attempts to figure them out. He did a great job recalling information and facts about "We Sit" he was able to predict what would happen next if the circumstance/events were different, and infer why.
Using an alphabet chart Nicholas was able to identify a few more letters than last week. Again he was able to tell me more of the letter sounds if I told him the letter. Nicholas was able to tell me 3 short sentences about the story and traced out the letters that I dashed out for him. He was not able to tell me all the letters in his first name as I wrote his name for him. He could not remember what his last name was, but he knew it began with De.
