after school speech #19

Last Wednesday, SJ had his weekly tutoring session.  They had a good session.  SJ told her about his sleepover at Jack's house.  She did a visual aid to show him how many times he took turns during their conversation.  When she showed him how many times he wasn't allowing her to talk, he had a better idea of what she was trying to teach him.

Next, they worked on Inferring Relational Definitions.  He had 10 sentences that had clues to help him figure out what the words mean.  He did fairly well with this activity.  He got 6 correct independently, 2 correct with prompts and 2 he simply didn't know.  One of the ones he had trouble with is the following sentence.  

My aunt told me to get the needle and thread so she could mend the hole in my pants.  Mend means _________

She explained that mending means to fix it, so she said the answer is sew.

She also worked on Using Adjectives with him. He was given a word bank and he had to choose the best adjective from the word bank. Here is one of the word banks and the nouns.

gentle, stuffy, sad, biggest

the biggest box

a gentle breeze

a sad movie

a stuffy nose

He did have a little trouble with gentle.  She had to explain what that adjective meant. Overall, she said he did this activity pretty easily.
