Mr. Cunningham, a reading clinician, has written a lesson plan for Grace, a partial-alphabetic phase reader. What's wrong with this plan?
A. Grace will select a new book to read from three books Mr. Cunningham will bring to the session .He'll ask Grace to retell the story after she has read it in order to focus on its meaning. If she has trouble with words for which she does know most of the letter sounds, he plans to call attention to these sounds, modeling blending of these to pronounce the word.
B. Grace will work with a new set of practice words that Mr. Cunningham selected from the new book. Words included in this set are very similar and all are function words. Grace will be asked to spell the words, say the words, and use them in oral sentences.
C. After introduction of the words in her new set, Grace will engage in a contextual word practice activity targeting these words.
D. Grace will write a short journal entry about something that interested her in the new book. If words from any of her practice sets are needed to write her entry, she will be helped to spell them correctly. For other words, invented (temporary) spellings will be accepted and, when needed, encouraged.
