Cabo read a nonfiction short story similar to one found on the ACT or SAT exam. After reading the selection, Cabo answered questions assessing his reading comprehension and vocabulary skills. Upon completion, I asked Cabo to cite evidence from the passages to support his answers. He then read two chapters from A Thousand Splendid Suns. Before reading, I asked him to find evidence of foreshadowing in the chapters and predict what he felt might occur.
