Libby used paint markers and sidewalk chalk to practice her letters. On lined paper, she practiced the basement letters (g, j, p, q, y). We read Clifford books and reviewed title, author, illustrator.

Kaitlin was sick today and did not meet online.

Libby was seen in her room for a 45-minute treatment session with the focus of therapy on fine motor skills specifically grasp patterns, ocular motor skills (saccades), self care skills, and handwriting. Libby participated well and was focused throughout her treatment session. Continued to work on increasing dexterity, manipulation and hand strength with putty and hidden object activity. Libby enjoyed using the intrinsic muscles of her hands to find the hidden objects in the moderately resistive putty. We continued therapy with visual recall and recognition of both uppercase and lowercase alphabet letters today. Libby was able to recognize and name every letter of the uppercase alphabet except for the letters V, P and J. Last week she needed minimum verbal cues for the letter "B" D" this week she knew them. Last week she couldn't recognize H, v and O this week she knew H and O. Both weeks she could not recognize uppercase "V". She is making solid improvement with recall for her letters. We will start with handwriting program next week 10/03/2024 using Print Island to teach Libby the correct formation of the lowercase letters. She needs to work on her recall and recognition of the lowercase alphabet as well. Good session, progress is steady.

Chris wrote sentences for his spelling words. We discussed genres that we had last year and added horror. We discussed parallel worlds, and he talked about the trilogy he wants to write.

Libby used the rice tray to trace letters. She played bingo to find letters. On writing paper, she wrote the attic letters (b, d, f, h, k, l, t). We sang Old McDonald with vowels. I read Rooster's Off to See the World by Eric Carle. We discussed title, author, and illustrator.

Kaitlin wrote sentences for her spelling words. We read Fahrenheit 451 and discussed it.

Libby wrote letters using the magic change color markers. She used rubber stamps of lowercase letters and matched them to uppercase letters. We sang Old McDonald for the vowels. We sang the Jolly Phonics song. On writing paper, she practiced her basement lowercase letters (g, j, p, q, y). I read Little Cloud by Eric Carle, and we discussed author and illustrator.

Chris wrote his spelling words in his journal and divided them into syllables. We read the rest of Robbie from I, Robot and discussed it.
