Nicholas reviewed the name and sound of each letter of the alphabet. He reviewed "special sounds"---sh ch th and I introduced the sound "wh." Nicholas read words from the "-ad" family, the "-ag" family, and the "-ap" family. --- clap slap dad sag gag... He also read the words--- I is for a at it go to the in me see can look an on... He had difficulty with "and" and "up." I reminded him that he can stretch both of these. His new word is "no." Nicholas used "up," "on," and "no" in oral sentences. I dictated and he printed "A girl runs up the hill." We stretch words together. I would like to see Nicholas start listening for the sounds on his own. Nicholas read the sight word reader "take-home" book, "Camping." Nicholas identified the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19. He did not identify "15." We have not yet focused on 12, 13, or 20. I stated the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 in random order. Nicholas was able to write all except "15." He counted to 29.
