a full week

We had a full week of lessons.  I am now getting my student for a full hour in the morning.  What a difference having her for a solid hour has made!  She is still struggling with vowel consonant e syllable type.  I have really tried stressing to look for that e and then put the long vowel sound in her head.  She has made some progress but it is slow going.  We tried nonsense words but her charting was so bad that we went back to real words in an attempt to really drill this.  In writing, she consistently leaves off the e.  I am hoping we can move back to nonsense words by the end of this week because we have to be on step 4.2 by next Wednesday!
