Today, Pierce was accompanied to after-school tutoring by his mom, au pair and 2 other brothers. They all got a tour of the school and Pierce was given the option of picking the room in which he wanted to work. Pierce did not initiate much conversation but responded to questions succinctly. -His favorite subject is science and he wrote his name clearly with his right hand. Once in the classroom, Pierce was curious about, although distracted by some of the items in the room, reaching for a fidget spinner which he was permitted to examine while I got out materials. He was responsive to directives and proceeded to work on the materials and exercises selected. When given various passages to read, Pierce read fluently. He was was asked to read two articles and answer questions about the content; some involved inferential reasoning skills, and others, comprehension/main ideas. Pierce hesitated on some of the questions and changed one or two after reflecting on the options. I encouraged reflective thought as he answered a few of the other questions more impulsively which affected his score. I explained some of the other choices and the reason why they were better suited as answers. A few questions involved simple math, and Pierce answered those correctly and explained his answers. I would like to obtain a writing sample to better assess his ability to express himself on paper, and his ability to write a cohesive paragraph. This includes being comfortable with punctuation marks, having a solid subject/predicate sentence structure, familiarity with grammar, and the rules of syntax. I plan to address this in our next session.
