Conner M

Connor's report has come back. Doesn't make for great reading but it is good to know where his gaps are so I can begin the process of filling them in.

Have spoken to Jen and Rachel Rachmani about the report and the direction to take. It is a bit like the say.. "How do you eat an elephant..."

SO....  I have gone through the report in great detail and highlighted the greatest concerns (and checked with Rachel and Jen).

Connor still is not secure in his vowel sounds. So I have been working with him 1 on 1 while Carter is away and specifically been targeting the I sound in CVC words.  I got Mum in one reading time and showed her exactly what I was doing and gave her an mini whiteboard and pen to take home and do daily with Connor.

Dante and Connor have been regularly going on Reading Doctor.  They also have Sue doing daily flash cards at their level.

As yet, I have seen no shift in Reading Levels with Connor, and even reading an unknown CVC is difficult for him.

I now read through his reader before the GR lesson (to Connor) every day so Connor feels relaxed and it is not a surprise to him.
