Spelling has been a pretty big issue so we have been working specifically with some spelling rules and reminders to give my student some support. On this day we were focusing on C and K at the beginning of words. He was just guessing whenever he came to words that started with the /k/ sound. We went over the rules using these TPT posters (free). We made our own little anchor chart as we discussed and practiced spelling some words aloud. Then I previously printed off some lists of C and K words (found a good list on Enchanted Learning) and I used these to call out to him. I had him say the vowel sound aloud and then point to where that vowel was on the posters. Once he pointed, he wrote down the word following that rule. If he made a mistake on C or K, I had him go back to the rules, but if he made a mistake on the rest of the word, I would have him rewrite while I called out the correct spelling. This was a good 10 minute activity that we will do again to begin our next session.
