Prior to our session, Quinn was permitted to take 5 minutes to look up a poster he would like to put up to decorate his room. He chose the soccer player Maradona. We got right to work after he made his choice. We worked on a reading passage entitled the Simple Physics of Soccer." the article's content vocabulary words included: apply; combination; determine; exert. The words proved a bit challenging to Quinn. He was asked about them before we started reading and then after reading the article,and Quinn was able to understand their meanings better after reading and exploring the words through some different activities. He then answered questions about the article. Quinn answered 6 out of 8 questions correctly and explanations were afforded him. Quinn also worked on exercises requiring him to choose the best word that fit in sentences, but the work was more challenging; a few strategies were shown to facilitate performance. After completing his work, Quinn asked if we could read a chapter in the novel. We read chapters 28 - 30 - guided reading with Quinn, as he did not want to read too much today. When queried, however, Quinn demonstrated good comprehension, listening, and inferential reasoning skills. He was excited, animated, and responsive today, and he is looking forward to getting his poster!
