Kasser had a much better lesson yesterday. He looked fresh and well rested, and as a result, we moved so much faster, and he could even indulge in a game of word building with the cards.
The kids are so funny... they find writing a chore - it is laborious to their dyslexic minds, and an exhausting task too... so when I get them to spell using sound cards instead of writing, they are so much more enthusiastic... and they don't realise that it is exactly the same task - minus the writing! Of course, they get to move around retrieving and putting back the cards, and because I arranged the cards in alphabetical order, he gets to practise sequencing his letters in alphabetical order as well, without even realising it! Heh.
Tomorrow is another day, another lesson. We're on to the "wh" sound already... and I think he will also struggle with it because he is unused to saying "hwh" instead of just "wh"... most Singaporeans don't do it... for example, the word "what" is often pronounced as "wat", instead of "huat"... which is the "correct" way of doing it, and also helps the children to distinguish between the words that begin with "w" and the words that begin with "wh". Heh. Hopefully he'll have a good night's rest tonight, and be ready for class tomorrow.
