Jake really seemed to enjoy writing words with similar
sounds, so for our sixth session I thought what better book to read than The
Cat in the Hat? He said he had the book read to him before, but he had never
read it himself. He quickly got exhausted with sounding out each word he didn’t
know, so we switched off reading every other page. He did a great job sounding
out words on his own and seemed to really like the rhyming aspect of the book.
This time I don’t think his comprehension of what the story was about wasn’t as
good, but I think it was mainly because he was focused on reading the
individual words themselves. After we read the book, I asked him to try to
recall some of the new words he read and write them down. He mostly picked
words that he already knew (cat/hat), but then when I would suggest some of the
new words he read (fish/ hop) he recalled them and was able to sound them out
and spell them correctly.
