Tristan was in a good mood and wanted to continue playing a computer game. He was flexible and able to switch to an interactive bingo game on the iPad practicing /s/ words. He was very determined to get a perfect score of 100 on the practice and was on target throughout the session. The orthodontic appliance/braces has helped him keep his tongue in his mouth and produce clearer, stronger speech.

Tristan had an open mind to try a new activity if we were able to finish with basketball. With a new book called "The Good Egg," he felt confident sharing the reading and taking the lead. There were a lot of opportunities for strong "s" practice. It was also a great social-emotional story about getting along with others and not being bossy or judgmental. He enjoyed it and looks forward to reading "The Bad Seed."
