Moving along nicely...

Stacey is finally moving into the vowel pairs... this one will be really tricky.

The last lesson, I taught her the rules for /k/= c, k and /j/ = dge, j, g, ge. And because her first vowel pair was "oi", I also had to teach her that it came in the middle of the word, to be followed up the next lesson with "oy" which is essentially the same sound, different position.

So there we go... and because I promised her a game after, she zipped through the lesson, even right through the difficult dictation and spelling, and so we worked on more spelling without her "feeling" the burden of spelling by using the spelling cards... heh.

So we happily made words back and forth, using the new and old sounds, and examining the rules behind each word that was formed... she so enjoys manipulating the cards.

I need to keep bumping her up... her reading is getting more fluent now, even though we don't do much reading per se (meaning passages) in OG classes... so despite that her reading is improving, and that pleases and encourages me and her. All in all, good!
