During the first week of class, I noticed that Phillip (pseudonym) was trying to decode words with more difficulty than other students. This peaked my attention, because I realized that with more time spent on decoding text meant that less attention effort was spent on comprehension. Phillip is a really agreeable kid who always is up for doing reading activities with me like the nonsense word test and the ERAS. Because he likes to do his work, I am choosing to work with him and build his confidence through academic success. He notices that sometimes the girls in his group will have the correct answer, and he will be okay when the teacher asks a question because someone else will answer. I want to focus on what he has trouble with so I know how to make instructional suggestions to the CT, and collect meaningful data. Helping Phillip with his vowel digraphs is a good place to start based on his nonsense word test scores. (#FEAP2a)
