At SJ's last two reading tutoring sessions, Mrs. Banks continued to read "Crispin" with SJ. During session 14, he was a little more focused than the previous week. He stayed in his chair and kept his eyes on the book for most of the session. She asked him comprehension questions during their session and he was able to answer with appropriate answers. She was pleased that he was getting the book. I apologized for not getting more chapters read in between sessions, but they were moving along quite quickly. I talked to her about his summer sessions. He is going to move to Tuesday mornings, so he will have tutoring and speech on the same day (get all the things that he doesn't like out of the way in one day).
I started a new job, so my husband was in charge of being home for Mrs. Banks this week. He was rushing home, but Mrs. Banks got held up at the elementary school in a meeting. SJ only had a 30 minute session because of that fact. Although his session was short, Mrs. Banks told my husband that he had his best session yet. He was completely on task, was asking suitable questions about the chapters that they were reading and was able to explain what was happening. At one point, he was reading and he thought she was not paying attention. "Hey, I am reading over here," he said to her. She laughed and said, "So, now you know how I feel."
Later on, I received a text from her. She told me that when she came into our house he told her that she was late. He then sat down and started to read before she even opened her book. That is a text that you want to get from a teacher. I might have to give him a manners refresher, but at least he was reading.
