We began the reading comprehension assessment forwarded by Max's London school. I first placed the definition of certain words on the board ,such as paradox, followed by identifying references to Henry Miller and Iris Murdoch from the reading . I further provided tips for addressing the comprehension questions. Max then read the passage and began answering the questions in full sentences. We used his written responses as an opportunity to provide instruction on subject-verb agreement , subject- pronoun agreement, and proper use of comparatives such as new, newer ,newest.
