Patrick continued in his FF program today. In V/V Patrick read a short story about a kookaburra bird. This was a sentence by sentence activity, where Patrick had to provide a word summary and a picture summary. For the first sentence he used his structure words in order to make his verbalizing flow and provide important details in his own mental picture of the story. For the following sentences he provides a brief word and a picture summary. Then Patrick proceeds to answer questions which will elicit a more clear and accurate picture in his mind, along with higher order thinking questions. Patrick identified the gestalt of the story, but it was tricky for him to provide his own prediction of what could happen next in the story and what it might look like. He is doing a great job and being extremely patient, as this program can be tedious at times because it is has a repetitive nature. He is working towards the goals, learning to verbalize more easily with less teacher support, as compared to when he started. Keep up the good work, Patrick!
