Mrs. Banks said that he was really interested in discussing the book and, of course, our vacation. She told me this is a sequel to a book read in 6th grade reading class.
She noted that he was having some difficulty with understanding some of the humorous concepts such as "There are dead rats living in the basement." She said he didn't understand that sentence at all. She further added that she had to explain it in detail for him to grasp the concept.
I told her that I know that is a tough concept for him to understand. She agreed and said that is why she decided to use this book in the summer since she would have more time to teach him these non-literal concepts.
When I returned home from work, I asked SJ about his reading session. He said, "It was fine. That is a funny book." I am glad he is enjoying it despite some of the troubles he is having with the comprehension. Hopefully, next week it will be a little easier for him.
