It was great to see James today in class. He did very well with his reading of today's story. James was able to read most of the story on his own and only struggled with the words 'recipe' 'teaspoon' and 'check.' He can continue to practice these words to prepare for his own reading of the story. James continued to practice  the long /a/ vowel sound and he worked to sort words with both the long and short vowel sounds. Excellent work from James today in class. Thank you, Ms. Katie.
