Elsa and I went up to visit Paulette. She is an amazing gardener. She is the one who cares for the property around the upper house. She deals with mechanical breakdowns. I don’t know what they would do without her.
I had a session with Mama K’s crew. They had a problem with the iPad. We had to do the session on the phone. Whenever when anyone called, we lost visual contact.
I covered the phonics rule on when a c= /s/ versus when c=/k/ with Twin A. For those of you who don’t know the rules:
c=/s/ when the c is follow by an e, i, or y, as in reception, city, bicycle.
c=/k/ when follow by an a, o, u or any consonant. When c appears at the end of a word, it is pronounced as a /k/ too, as in picnic.
A similar rule applies to G: g=/g/ versus g=/j./
g=/j/ when followed by an e, i, or y, as in gesture, giraffe, gyroscope. Exceptions: get, girl.
g- /g/ when followed by an a, o, u or any consonant, as in gather, go, gut
With Twin E. I had her say each letter before she said the word. As we moved along, I could allow her to say the words as long as her reading reflected her attention to the letters. If she stopped doing that, we would go back to saying all the letters again.
I found these entries covering my catastrophic fall and follow-up, the hospital stay, and my time with 24/7 home health care. They were written shortly after the events. The earlier entry, detailing the events, was written a year later.
