Learning Observed

During iDevelop literacy time Jeffa was using his understanding of the middle sounds in words to complete known words. Jeffa came to show me the words he had created using the CVC cards. He was able to identify the missing letter/sound for 5 different words during our learning time. To complete this activity Jeffa was using his knowledge of letter sounds, their formation as well as word formation. Since this time I have observed Jeffa working at this activity again and is one of interest to him.
