Yuvaan could decode words well, even though it was clear the book we read today was more difficult for him. He knew how to change starting sounds and knew some rhyming words. Yuvaan could count on which is a great improvement from before.
Yuvaan found it difficult to delete end sounds. When writing he would miss small words such as βmyβ and βitβsβ even after orally discussing sentence.

Yuvasn could decode words easily and automatically, and was able to spell words with the long /ay/ sound mostly with accuracy. He could classify 3D shapes and used counting on for the first time, showing he is making progress in numeracy moving from rote learning to understanding how to manipulate numbers using place value.

Dihen automatically blended and segmented sounds. He spelt all CVC and CVCC words correctly. He knew the 3D shapes names.
Dihen automatically blended and segmented sounds. He spelt all CVC and CVCC words correctly. He knew the 3D shapes names.
Dihen knew addition facts to 20 but these relied on memory rather than strategies such as counting on, so a focus on these will support him to understand and manipulate numbers going forward.
