Sophie TS #4- Elia

For my second meeting with Elia, we worked mainly on spelling again. This time we focused on words in the environment around us, Elia's house. So that meant words like chair, table, fridge, television, etc. I started to notice certain letters and letter combinations that give Elia trouble, such as the 'dg' in fridge or the 'ight' in light and bright. Sometimes it's hard to tell when he actually knows how to spell the word and when he's just guessing random letters, especially when it comes to vowels. I explained vowels to him a little bit, and wrote them on the top of the page we were spelling on so that he had them all in front of them when he wasn't sure which one to use. He also has some problems with the letter w, as well as with making out the difference between the letters l and r.
