Finally, we got through an entire lesson today! There is a significant difference between my student's ability to decode real words and nonsense words. I saw issues with reversals and short vowel sounds today that I had not seen previously. For my part, I need to increase my knowledge of how to run a lesson, especially the spelling parts of the lesson. I need to watch Barbara Wilson teach part 8 again - not at all sure I did that correctly. I think we need to stay on the same level until I am more fluent with delivering a lesson and to give my student time to strengthen short vowel sounds and some of the consonants.
I separated the letter cards into separate piles for vowels, consonants, and digraphs which made making words go more quickly today. I'm looking forward to getting into a more reliable routine next week.
