Liam and I read Chapter 5 in Louis Sachar's book, 'There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom.' I asked Liam to go back to the previous chapter to refresh and activate prior learning, and Liam generally remembered the main parts of the chapter. We continued reading, but Liam asked me to read today. He followed along and was queried at parts to assess his understanding. I explained several more allusive, oblique remarks one of the characters said to clarify the author's intent. I explained the word 'modest,' and offered Liam an example related to academic performance to which he could relate. Liam's favorite character is still Bradley and he stated his reasons. Liam took a quick multiple-choice quiz and got 4 out of 5 answers correct.
