Gabbie and I began the session finishing the third book of The Series of Unfortunate Events. We played a game of Frye sight words Jenga. We spent the rest of the meeting on FSA preparation, reviewing the question types that Gabbie might encounter. To conclude, we read several sample FSA passages and answered the questions. I am happy to work with Gabbie online in the coming weeks.

Gabbie and I began by reading aloud The Series of Unfortunate Events. We accomplished the following OG activities: Alpha Chip sequencing, phonological awareness, and sound deck review. For the remainder of the session I focused on FSA preparation.

Gabbie and I began the session reading from A Series of Unfortunately Events. We accomplished the following OG exercises: phonological awareness, Alpha Chips, and sound deck review. We spent the rest of the session practicing for the FSA. Great work!

Gabbie and I began the session reading A Series of Unfortunate Events. To build Gabbie's decoding skills, she did the following: Alpha Chip sequencing, phonological awareness exercise, and sound deck review. I spent the remainder of the session on FSA preparation. I reviewed the question types that Gabbie will encounter. We read several passages from practice exams, and Gabbie answered the comprehension questions with ease.

Gabbie and I started the session reading A Series of Unfortunate Events. The plot continues! We accomplished the following Orton-Gillingham activities: phonological awareness exercise, Alpha Chip sequencing, and Sound Deck review. We reviewed the FSA questions. I read aloud a sample FSA passage, and Gabbie successfully answered all comprehension questions. I am pleased with her confidence and attitude.

Gabbie greeted me with a fantastic surprise, a four on a practice FSA! I am very proud of her hard work and perseverance. We started with A Series of Unfortunate Events, followed by Orton-Gillingham exercises, including Alpha Chip sequencing and sound deck review. We reviewed FSA question types. I read a passage from a sample FSA, and Gabbie quickly answered all questions. I am pleased with her renewed self-confidence. We will continue to work hard.

Gabbie worked very hard today. We began by reading chapter one of the next book in the Series of Unfortunate Events book, The Wide Window. Gabbie never misses a detail! We accomplished the following OG activities: phonological exercise, Alpha Chip sequencing, and Sound Deck review. We concluded with strategies for the FSA. I reviewed test questions that Gabbie will encounter, such as point of view, main idea, narrator, sequence of events, chronology, moral/lesson of the story, image/picture/graphic as it relates to the text, and finding evidence/details from the text. Gabbie makes sophisticated inferences. I am very proud of her test FSA results!

We began the session reading The Series of Unfortunate Events, and finished the second book in the series. Gabbie continues to impress me with her attention to detail when she listens. After reading, we accomplished the following OG exercises: phonological awareness, Alpha Chip sequencing, and sound deck review. We played a game of Slap with CVC words. For the remainder of the session, I focused on FSA test strategy, reviewing the types of questions asked, such as the main idea, lesson, point of view, order of events, chronological order, citing evidence from the text, and interpreting an image/picture/graphic. The phrasing of the questions can seem daunting, but when translated, Gabbie could easily access the information. It is my goal that she will be very familiar with the vocabulary of the test questions.

I will not work with Gabbie on Monday due to a conflict with her grandfather's schedule. I will work with her for 1.5 hours on Thursday, and the following week's sessions, to make up the time we have missed.

Gabbie and I had a great session today. We began by reading aloud a chapter from a Series of Unfortunate Events. We then alternated reading a page with Orton-Gillingham exercises, including the following: Alpha Chip sequencing, sound deck review, Slap with various syllable types (CVC and VT). We spent the remainder of the session working with an FSA sample test. I focused on test-taking strategies. The teacher will read aloud the questions to Gabbie. Therefore it is imperative that she understands the language of the questions. Fortunately, this is predictable; we reviewed identifying the narrator, point of view, character description, a stanza in a poem, and how to find "evidence" in a text to back up an answer. When possible, I used our book as an example. It is clear to me that when Gabbie understands the question, she can answer it. Great work today!

We began reading A Series of Unfortunate Events for 30 minutes. We then did the following OG activities: phonological awareness, Alpha Chip sequencing, and Sound Deck review. We played several rounds of Slap. The remainder of the session was dedicated to FSA practice, focused on reading comprehension and test-taking strategies.
