Location: P.J.'s House
Topic/Skill: Reading The Prairie
Feedback:
During this
session, P.J. and I attempted to read the story about the Prairie in
his Reading Workbook. He was very distracted and not interested in completing
the lesson. Most of his disinterest came from the topic and length of the
reading. He had a lot of trouble with his comprehension because he did not care
about the subject. I tried to get him to focus on his punctuation for this
lesson but I believe that because of the subject matter and his lack of
interest it made reading punctuation even harder. At one point I gave him a
mini break, approximately 3 minutes, to help him reorganize and focus. The
break did not help. To get through the lesson I made him a deal, he could show
me something he learned from school if he read 2 more paragraphs. He speed read
them, showed me his trick, and summarized what he read. Although the interest
was not there, we did get through the lesson. I know that P.J. is a good student;
I just had trouble trying to reach him tonight.
