Ayden and I reviewed the English portion of the test (grammar). For homework, Ayden will review his vocabulary flashcards.

We began the session by discussing the ACT. Ayden didn't understand that his accommodations allow him to take the test over three consecutive days, in-person at the Batt School, with a reader if he chooses. I texted his mom, and we chose June 14-16 as the target dates and confirmed that Ayden could use a calculator. Ayden and I then practiced the test's reading section; he read a passage independently and answered 15 comprehension questions. For those that he missed, we went over strategies to attack the questions better.
