Clay and I had a very good introductory conversation. I read the story he's been working on to get a sense of where he's at with his writing, and I had him read a little to gauge his reading level. He's very low skilled in reading and consequently doesn't like to read or write. We talked about reading on a regular basis, and I recommended that he read and article on ESPN every day. We then started working on basic sentence structure and knowing the difference between a complete sentence and a sentence fragment. My plan is to start at the very basic level and build Clay's skills up.
