lessons only address -nk. How will we approach this? I think chunking glued sounds are easier, e.g. -ink. Let me know your thoughts.
I think it would be beneficial to repeat the same passage that we used this week for Social Studies. We can ask for permission to stay
with the same text. That way we can address accuracy, rate, and prosody to address fluency. If we keep switching passages, we
won't be able to measure the increase in the fluency rate. Let me know your thoughts.

How do you spell the glued sound of -ink?

Remember to partner debrief at the end of each lesson!
C correctly identified -ink but missed -ank. We will go over this again in the next lesson and continue to do all of the glued sounds In
the review and the writing sections of the lesson plan. The dropped-chin procedure seemed to help C to better identify how many
syllables are in a word. C needs more practice with identifying the vowel sounds of /oo/ and the pronunciation spelling of /shun/, tion.
We will review the rules for these. We want to ensure that C is successfully completing the steps of the lesson. However, we would
like to get more quickly to the Wide Reading/Listening Comprehension section. This would allow the tutee to spend more time
reading and working on fluency. We would like to clip one paragraph from the initial reading to continue with fluency instruction, while
moving on to the next article to maintain interest and have the opportunity to provide a written response to what has been read
through the use of higher-order questioning skills. We would also like to allow a small amount of time for a motivational learning hook
that makes him want to reach the end of the lesson. This could be a small video about the Civil War that would provide opportunities
for writing prompts and discussion.

connection seems to motivate him. Next time, we’re going to briefly go over all of the syllable types (closed, open, magic e,
r-controlled, vowel team, -cle). This will help him with syllable division. He is remembering our previous instruction, and
our plan is to move on to the “camel” syllable division rule. We’re going to compare and contrast the “tiger” and “camel” rules.
Previous instruction in all syllable types will help with this process. In regard to reading fluency, C read a review passage and
accepted corrections and improved his reading rate. His first reading of the repeated passage gave him a reading rate of 55%,
regarding words per minute. After instructional assistance, his reading rate improved to 82% of words read correctly after instruction.
This indicates that C is responsive to instruction.

Abraham Lincoln.
Remember to partner debrief at the end of each lesson!
We had a difficult time with this tutoring session. Our tutee’s headphones weren’t working, and Grace’s camera was periodically not
working. We worked through these challenges as best as we could. Due to the technical difficulties, C had a difficult time staying
focused and motivated. He also struggled to hear us throughout the lesson. I (Grace) also felt a little scattered due to my camera not
working. I could have been more clear and concise with my teaching. Sonja took over much of the lesson in the Wide Reading
section due to these technical problems. While C understood the concept of the “camel” rule, he struggled comparing and contrasting
the “tiger” vs. “camel” rules. We may want to try another sort with new words next week. We cut our phonics portion short to make
sure we spent a good amount of time on the Wide Reading. We re-read the Harriet Tubman piece from last week because our tutee
enjoyed the passage and it gave us good information for writing. We completed a graphic organizer answering our essential question
and we’ll use this organizer next week to complete the constructed response. We finished the graphic organizer quickly so Sonja had
time to complete a fluency passage at the very end. C has done a great job remembering our information from previous weeks and
increasing his fluency. Sonja did a great job increasing C’s fluency by motivating him with his previous reading progress, targeting
specific words he had missed (colonel, regiment, as). C was motivated to beat his previous time.

Remember to partner debrief at the end of each lesson!
C. displayed tremendous growth during this lesson. His responses to the ti-ger and cam-el exercises revealed that he has gained a
deeper understanding of how to approach reading multisyllabic words. He was highly motivated to complete his writing about Harriet
Tubman and The Civil War. We are planning to look back and determine what assessments we need to revisit according to our
original plan to measure C.’s growth. We are also thinking about other interesting activities we can present surrounding the topic of
The Civil War to close out our tutoring time with C.
