We have completed substep 2.1. My student really seems to understand the concept of closed syllables. We had to review digraphs and bonus letters because she seemed to forget about those with the introduction of so many welded sounds. I was concerned that the program was introducing too much within one substep but my student really rose to the occasion and seems to be solid on the ng and nk welded sounds. Tomorrow we will start with consonant blends. I'm glad we did a solid review of digraphs because otherwise I think she would be confused between digraphs and blends. What I will be most interested in is how she does with all of this after Thanksgiving break. I am hoping there isn't much if any regression. I think we're in a good spot as far as timing goes. I wouldn't want to loose any ground now.
I made a cheat sheet of questions to use while weaving concepts. I am hoping it will help me during parts 2 and 7. I sometimes feel like I'm asking the same questions over and over again. It will be interesting to see what Donna says when she comes to observe next. That date is fast approaching. I sure hope I'm ready!
