I began with an Alphabet Assessment Checklist. I asked Nicholas to identify all letters in the lowercase form. I asked Nicholas to find the "W' on the row of capital foam letters and the letter "w" on the row of lowercase foam letters. This was difficult for him. We will continue to review all letters and sounds studied, focusing in on "Ww" and /w/. I also need to focus in on the difference between "M" and "W," as Nicholas sometimes confuses the two. I read the nursery rhyme "Wee Willie Winkie" to Nicholas and he then "echoed" each line as I read the rhyme again. He then highlighted every "W" and "w" in the rhyme. Nicholas is working on the following "sight words:" I a is for the at He does not yet recognize "the." I asked him to stretch "at" (aaaaattttt) as it has not yet become "automatic." Today was Dr. Seuss' birthday, so we read "Hop on Pop." I gave Nicholas a sheet of Cat in the Hat stickers, a paper Cat in the Hat hat to color, a child's poem about promising to read each day, and I gave him a "Cat in the Hat" headband/hat to wear.
