We did some letter search and word search using a dictionary. The next level to the goal of reading is for the students to match the sounds to the letters. Both students speak and repeat words ana sentences I say and they are remembering cards and can say what the cards are. 6:00 Today, we finished with the conversation. I gave them their grammar text. We will start that next week. I am so excited. I know for a fact that they will so well. The students are very smart and active.   7:10 Today, we continued with making questions from sentences.

4 o’clock Class We sang songs and played some card games. One of the students looked up words in a dictionary, while the other student searched for words on an ABC letter search A4 placard. We did phonics practice too. I asked the students, “How are you?” The natural answer is “I am fine”, but in reality any reply is fine, so I asked that question, then showed them some adjectives cards to which they are to answer, “I am ....” plus the adjective the card is displaying. We all counted our body parts. I had them count individually. The funny thing is that the one year old says repeats after me, and he also repeats after the older student as well. Concerning the dictionary, the three year old student is looking up words. That is great. I will be happy when he starts finding three to four words in the time allotted.  The one year old student asked for the ABC placard himself as soon as he saw me grab a dictionary. I am anticipating the three year old student to pass the phonics test in a
