Live session with Maya — /sh/ near-mastery + /th/ preview.
/sh/ now solid in initial and final positions — 6 of 6 today. Briefly previewed /th/ (Lesson 17) to start three-way digraph awareness; she handled it well. Recommend advancing to /th/ this week — /sh/ is mastery-ready.

Live session with Maya — /sh/ progress check.
Big jump this week: /sh/ in isolation now reliable (5 of 6). Final-position /sh/ (fish, dish) still slips — kept reading 'fis' and 'dis'. Plan: next session opens with final-/sh/ word ladder, then moves to a /sh/-heavy decodable read-aloud.

Live session with Maya — /sh/ digraph anchoring.
Confused /sh/↔/ch/ on 2 of 6 prompts. Recommend Lesson 17 covering /th/ to anchor digraph contrast — three-way digraph awareness usually breaks the /sh//ch/ confusion in this stage. Will revisit next week.
