On Monday, Mrs. Banks was back to tutor SJ in reading. They continued to read Flush. They read up to Chapter 4. When they were finished with the reading, she had SJ answer comprehension questions from that chapter, as well as Chapter 3.
She was happily surprised that SJ remembered facts from the previous chapter. Considering they haven't read together in a few weeks, she was impressed with his retention. I told her that I would try to read one to two chapters with him between their sessions. SJ wants to use this book for his 1st Nine Weeks reading book report for Mrs. Page (his 7th grade reading teacher). He was a little concerned that he may not finish it before the report is due if he only read it with Mrs. Banks. She said that was a good plan.
She was very happy with his overall effort. She said he did occasionally stop her to ask her what words meant and if he didn't understand what was going on. She said she was happy that he was stopping her and she is seeing improvement in his reading. These are all wonderful things to hear, especially since SJ struggles so much with reading. Keep up the hard work, SJ!
