Nicholas was able to tell me the name and sound for "Nn," /n/, "Ss," /s/, and "Ll." He needed assistance with the sound /l/ as in "lllllion." During our last session, we began to look at the letter "Pp" and the sound /p/. Nicholas recognized the letter "Pp" when shown on our picture cards. We bounced the words on the cards to help with recalling the sound /p/. ("pppppanda" "ppppplayful pppppenguin") Nicholas located the uppercase "P" and the lowercase "p" on my foam strips of letters. He identified the letter and sound. He then took all the foam letters we have studied and matched the capital to the lowercase. This gave Nicholas another opportunity to identify letters and sounds. I reread the poem "Five Little Pumpkins," focusing on the words Nicholas highlighted that begin with /p/. We "bounced" each word. We then had fun creating our own fence with five pumpkins to go along with the poem. We used pretzels to represent the fence, round crackers for the pumpkins and the skin of a green apple for the pumpkin stems. We then read another poem, "Pumpkin Happy." Nicholas matched the correct pumpkin face to each line of the poem. He then highlighted all the words with "Pp." He practiced printing "N," "n," "S," "s," "L," "l," "P," and "p." He was able to print his first and last name with no assistance. We are working on identifying the name of all the letters in his first name.
