Nicholas reviewed the name and sound for all 26 letters using our small "take-home" alphabet cards. He did very well, with only one error. He called a "B" a "D." He then correctly printed all the uppercase letters he had difficulty with during the last assessment: M F G V W B D E U. Nicholas then used the foam letters, matching all uppercase to the lower case. Again, he was successful, making only one error. He called the "W" an "M." Our next activity involved sight words. Nicholas read the following: I, is, for, a, at, it, go, and see. He should practice the words "to,' "the,"
and "me." Nicholas is progressing nicely when it comes to sounding out words. He stretched and read the following words: bat, cat, fat, mat, and rat. He then reread the sight word reader titled "The Pet Store." The new sight word reader that he read today is titled "Cars." The focus is on the words "see" and "the." These are simple stories with only a few words on each page. The text matches the pictures.
