Sophie TS #5- Elia

For my next meeting with Elia I started by reviewing the words I had him spell the last session. He definitely seemed more confident this time, though he still made several mistakes so it could be that he's just more comfortable around me than before. But while he improved in spelling most of these words, he still really struggled with the ones that were giving him trouble last time. To work on this, I tried to find more examples of those sounds and letters- this is where I definitely could have improved and prepared ahead on, because there was no logic behind which words I chose, just whatever came to mind first. So for the letters l and r, I made two columns- one for l words like lion, lollipop, and lime; and one for r words like road, rhino, and read. I had Elia read these words out loud, making sure he knew what each one was. I corrected his pronunciation when necessary, and made sure he could hear the difference between the two letters. I then repeated this process for some of the other problem sounds/letters too!
