Analise began the session by telling me about her boat trip yesterday with her siblings and mother. She said she enjoyed herself and explained some of what she saw in the different colored blue/green waters. She then chose to read the book "Ballet Cat, The Totally Secret Secret," by Bob Shea. This was a more challenging book, but Analise did not become frustrated when she encountered more challenging words but persevered in her attempts to sound them out. The word "ballet", was a tough one, but Analise was explained it had an unusual ending and was French in origin so the ending 'et' sounded like an "a" end sound." Once told this, she repeated the word correctly whenever it appeared in the story. Analise identified sight words that she had previously found challenging, located the words in the story and then correctly used them in sentences. After she read the story, I read it and asked her to be observant and take note of question marks and exclamation marks. We discussed how each is used, their purpose, and then we role -played the two main characters in the story. Analise was the ballet cat, and I was Sparkle, the mule. Analise understood expectations in this new exercise and obtained 80% correct responses when reading questions and exclamations using the appropriate inflections. As this was a newly acquired skill, she performed very well and it appeared that she enjoyed acting out the various parts. When subsequently queried, to assess acquisition and transfer gains, Analise provided a good example of an interrogative (question) remark ("how are you?" and an exclamatory sentence "Look out, there's a bat!" Analise left the session in good spirits.
