Today, I helped him check if he could spell the following sight words.
I first got him to arrange the colourful letters from A to Z. I noticed that he made some mistakes.
So, I corrected his mistakes for him. A to Z should be arranged like this:
I got him to spell the sight words with my beautiful letters. Sometimes, students confuse b with d. I hope using physical letters lets him remember the word in 3D.
True enough, he misspelt big as dig. But it was good that he made this mistake because we could revise the sounds for both b and d.
He also misspelt said as sick. Luckily, Sensei has a mnemonic in mind:
He misspelt the as and. But I’m sure he will remember how to spell it in the future.
We then read a short story about himself. I enlisted ChatGPT’s help to write about him drawing Roblox characters since he loves drawing. He could read pretty well and answer most questions correctly. This shows that he understands the short story. 👍
His homework is to remember how to arrange the letters.
