Richard was ready to work today. We began the session focusing on attention to detail, joint attention and recognizing patterns. We continued by working on a beginner reader, titled "The fin" Richard would benefit from using a reading pointer or his index finger consistently while decoding words as he often loses his place or only sounds out the beginning of the words. He was able to answer comprehension questions regarding main character, beginning middle and end, and summary questions verbally. We also worked on parts of a sentence and determining a complete sentence from a run on sentence.
