after school speech part 32

Well, we are back to after school speech.  There were scheduling issues at the therapy center, so we are now going to after school speech on Tuesdays.  We also were not able to keep our regular speech therapist, so SJ was going to be starting with another speech therapist. 

We had our first session with the new therapist this past Tuesday.  She seemed very nice and very competent.  I told her that SJ may be a little crabby with her, but not to take it personally.  When she finished his session, she told me that he worked well with her.  She said she had to redirect him a few times, but otherwise he worked hard.

She worked on small stories that had where and why questions.  She had him read the story out loud and then answer the question.  For example: 

Man Caught at Market
      Police caught a man sneaking around Vic's Market at 3:00 a.m.  He was caught next to the canned peas.  He had a bag full of groceries. 
      Police asked him what he was doing.  He said, "I'm shopping.  Isn't this a 24-hour market?"

WHERE was the man caught?

SJ had to answer that the man was caught at Vic's Market.  The therapist said he was able to answer all the questions for the stories.  That was great.  His summer therapist had worked on these early in the summer, so I wasn't surprised that he did well on this exercise.  Any help and practice that SJ can get with comprehension is always welcome.
