For this session with Christian, we focused
again on identifying upper and lower-case letters as well as copying words. The
lesson plan for this session included:
1.
Have C write the ABC’s with no outside aid
2.
Match upper and lower-case in groups of
five (and one group of six) in chalk on the driveway
3.
Have C copy short words I write on the
pavement, to practice letters outside of the context of the alphabet, as well
as practice for eventually writing words.
4.
Read a couple books
Once
again, Christian can produce the alphabet flawlessly, an improvement compared
to when we struggled to get through the alphabet in the first few sessions we
had together. Though it was definitely clear at the time that Christian wasn’t
having the best time struggling to put every letter next to one another and
getting frustrated, it definitely helped get us to the level that we’re at
today. Of course, I know that I could have used a better, more fun method of
teaching him the English alphabet, but at least now I know, and better yet, C
knows the alphabet.
C
had little difficulty in matching up the letters. He clearly recognizes the
different versions as being one in the same. The next step, though, is teaching
him the context in which each set is used.
