I met with Pasos on Friday to go over his homework and to practice writing. He was given a bunch of notecards containing basic English adjectives, verbs and nouns. We would go over each word by reading aloud each letter, and by pronouncing each syllable. For example, the noun "Honesty" was written on the card. I would ask Pasos to try and spell out the word, and for "Honesty" he only missed two letters, S and Y. I wrote the alphabet on a piece of paper for Pasos to use as a reference. It was easier for him to remember the letter when he looked at the alphabet, because the alphabet song is in order and he could associate letters to the song. We did this activity for the majority of the lesson, as there were lot of cards. I would also read aloud the whole word and give a brief definition of what the word was.
For writing I had Pasos go over the colors again. I would point to colors, ask him what color I was pointing at, and how to spell it. He wasn't able to spell the color, but often was able to be able to tell me what color it was. I would then write the color, and have him tell me which letter was which, and had him write right next to my word the same word, so as to practice his handwriting and his memory when it came to associating words with letters.
