Kate's final conference and running record both came from the Magic Tree House book again. She had a few words that she struggled to pronounce but kept being repeated in the text, so she kept pronouncing them the same way even though they were slightly off. When she reached a word she wasn't familiar with she kept looking to me to tell her what it was, but since I wouldn't tell her she just read it as she thought it said.
ALG:A: Each time she made a miscue with a word she knew, she always went back and self-corrected herself. Obviously she didn't self-correct with the words she struggled to pronounce, but she did with basic words like "the" and "with."
L: For this conference we focused on breaking down "tricky words" to attempt to decipher them- to do that I utilized a tool that Candace provided from another source. Kate appreciated the "Tricky Word Card" because it gave her other ideas of how to approach figuring out an unfamiliar word instead of just sounding out individual letters. She especially liked using the context!
G: The goal was for her to use the Tricky Word Card next time she encounters a difficult word in her reading and try to find one method that works the best for her.
