My session was all right! Charlene is starting to talk a little more. I am encouraging her to speak up more. I brought her to Subway and I made her give her order. She waited for me to tell the lady on the other side of the counter what she wanted. I didn't say a thing. I just motioned her to tell the lady. For the first time, I was nonverbal.
During our session, I had her read and re-read to build up fluency and intonation. She did fine. She didn't show any frustration when I had her re-read a few more times. I think she's starting to use different voices. She's reading with more meaning and less robotic. I had her start a new journal prompt this week with "bird's wings." We'll see how she does with her second entry.

That's good news to hear about Charlene. You on the other hand nonverbal...that's a first!
ReplyDeleteYou gave me my laugh for the day...you nonverbal--HA! I am so glad Charlene is improving and finding her voice in the readings..that is wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteI bet you bit your tongue hard not to say a thing! It worked, didn't it? Her changing tones in reading shows she's making that connection and reading with expression. Great job!
