Topic/Skill: Swimming and Luisa Stories
Feedback:
For this session, I had P.J. choose which story he wanted to read. As he doesn’t care for the textbook, I figured this was the best way to boost his motivation. After each page, I had P.J. give me, in his own words, a summary of what he just read. We went over the vocabulary words that were highlighted on each page. At the end of the reading I asked P.J. for a summary of the entire story. I let him look at the pictures on each page to help remind him of what happened. I asked a lot of prompting questions as well. These tools seemed to help him find the answers he needed. He really understood the story this time and we made it through it rather quickly. Since there was still time left, we read a short story. This really intrigued him because the story was about swimming. In the middle of the reading he asked me questions about how to float. We finished reading the story after that and he also gave me a summary to show that he understood what he read. Taking a break in the middle shows me that if he can find a connection and take a break in the middle he does a lot better and doesn’t find the activity as agonizing as he usually does.
