The answer appear to be reasonable. She reads well now so she did this while I stepped out of the room.

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.

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.
Today the meetup is starting its community worker series. We started with the post office. Well, we started off discussing what a community is and what takes place in it. We discussed stores, libraries, fire stations, police stations, etc.we discussed what you can buy in a store.
Then Leslie read three books about what goes on behind-the-scenes in a post office. Then she read about mail carriers in general and how they have to deliver the mail in all sorts of weather. This was to show self-discipline, perseverance, and sense of duty (civil duty).
Then we handed out Popsicle sticks with different workers on them. A description of the community worker was read and when each kid's community worker was called, they had to raise their stick.
Then after this, I discussed the format of a letter and they had choices. The first was to write a letter. The second was that they could cut and paste the parts of a letter that was given to them in the right order in the given squares for the various parts. Another activity that they could do was making an envelope from scratch.
Megan chose to write a letter. It was soooooo impressive. She set it up right, drew dotted lines on the sheets of paper, Made and labeled her own envelope and is going to mail it out. She wrote a letter to Lillian. Apparently Amanda helped her spell appreciate, as she told her that appreciates Lillian coming over.
Then she did a little post office math. She counted by 5's to solve a math problem related to what kind of letter a kid could send with some nickels and a penny.
She was asked what the boy could buy and she told Leslie, since it was 0.46 cents, the boy could mail a postcard or a letter. Then I had Megan tell me the difference in price. That is,if he mails a post card, how much money would
he have over. She did this on paper, and then we did it with money itself.
On page 3, Megan had a group of words to choose from. She had to read the sentence and fill it in with the appropriate word. Then on page 4, Megan has to read three words and pick the best word from a list of three words to describe the picture shown.
cliff, clap, flat, club, flex, flag, glass, so obviously constant-l blends.
Megan did two word ladders today, pages 39-40
Okay, on page 1, Megan had to read the word, find the picture that matches the words meaning and cross it out. Then, she had to copy the word as spelled out for her.
On page 2, she had to read words and then x out the matching word, the one that is the same as the initial one.
