On Monday, Mrs. Banks came for SJ's after school reading tutoring. I told her we had read Chapter 5 of Flush together. I also told her how impressed I was with his reading. He did a great job when we read together the night before. When we had completed Chapter 5, he ran to get his binder and pulled out a paper from his reading class. He wanted to show me his options for his book report. He decided to do a newspaper article as his book report (my heart melted since I have a journalism degree). He spent 40 minutes working on his first draft and he did fairly well for his first try.
I went upstairs to prepare dinner while they were having their session. When it was finished, she said they had completed Chapter 6 and did some comprehension questions. She seemed very pleased with the effort that he had made and said he was able to remember many things that they had previously read.
I told her that we would read Chapters 7 and 8 this week. She said that was fine. I showed her SJ's rough draft of the beginning of his book report. She seemed as impressed as I was. She asked me if I was enjoying the book. I told her that I was. It is always a bonus when the book is enjoyable. I never care what my boys are reading as long as they are reading. If they like the reading material, at least we are not fighting them to read. Thanks for picking out such an entertaining book Mrs. Banks.
