Today, Liam and I read Chapter 15 in Louis Sachar's 'The Boy in the Girls' Bathroom.' It was quite a chapter with a lot of interpersonal dynamics mentioned. Liam was attentive during the reading and was afforded cues and prompts to help him answer questions. We discussed the literary idiomatic expression, "he threw someone under the bus,' as the protagonist in the story fibbed to his mother after she said she would report an incident to the school principal, so he mentioned his best friend's name as the bully in the incident which was not the truth. We also discussed the meaning of the term 'scapegoat.' Liam was afforded examples to help him to better understand the meanings. Liam was queried following the story, but we stopped after Chapter 15 as there was a lot of material to digest in it.
