Megan did a couple of word ladders today.  One with words sit, hit, hat, had, hand, sand and stand and another one with the words hair , hail, fail , fall, ball, bald.

Megan is almost finished with book 2.5. I forget to write the entries in once in a while but its dated in the book.  On page 89, She had to read three words given , along with a picture, and pick the word with a blend that best fits the picture. for example, a girl mixing something in a bowl, and three choices, bland, blend, and brand.  The answer was correctly chosen as being blend.  On page 90, She has two works and she has to select the word associated with the picture, for example a skunk is shown and she has to pick either stink or slink.  She did fine at this. On page  91, She has to spell words. She is given three rectangles with letters choices in them and she has to circle the letter(or letters) in each rectangle that when done together spell the word. 

On page 35, Megan is introduced to some word families used in Zack the Dog Part 4. The families were "oss", "ill", "ack", "im, and "ept" She had to circle the repeating part.  On page 35, new words were introduced, cold, told, old, sleep , keep, your, says.  Megan had to write and spell these words. On page 36, Megan had to read some sentences and draw a line between the sentences and the picture that describes the sentences, Such as "Is this your dog?" or "Nan told her pal to call her back".  Then, Megan and I read Zack the Dog , Part 4 and answered questions regarding it on page 40, with a happy face for yes, sad face for no and a straight face for can't tell.  Then, she had to write a sentence answering "Why Red did not run off.  She wrote "Red did not run off because he could not leave Zack.  

Yellow, orange, red, green and brown construction paper

Megan has to read four words in a row and then X the word as the first one. Words like scan, scam, spud, spat , spud, skim, stiff, stuff , shin , spat, slit. Because of her speech difficulties , I often need her to tell me what the word means to make sure she is saying what I think she is. 

Megan, using long A words, had to fill in the blanks for sentences describing pirates, such as chain,nail, cake , whale , wave , and sail.

On these pages, that are given words that are missing the beginning letters , l,m,n,or p.  She had to fill in the missing letter.   

New blends today - she has to read the word and pick the ending blend that it used.  She was unsure about a couple, but I only had to reassure her that she was right. 

I didi a lesson where I drew a clothesline of shirts and their sleeves each had a blend and I read a blend and she had to try and write the word on the shirt. Well ,Megan was efficient I guess and just wrote the letters that come after the blend, like for plane, she wrote "ane" Then I had a gluing activity where she glued pictures of the blends in the right places. I checked and she did this. So, it seems she understand constant-L blends fairly well.

Megan, on page 57, is still working with beginning blends. She is shown a picture and has to pick the letters in the row of boxes that spell the word.  On page 58, she had to read
