Jordan TS#7
On July 24 I tutored David for the third time. I stuck with non-fiction because it seems that he doesn't want to connect to the fiction stories. This way he is at least interested in the subject matter. He was reluctant to read, as usual, and tried looking at pictures or asking me random questions about everything and anything to keep us off course. Alas, he succeed more than I would have liked, but I did manage to get him to read a little too. Then I pulled out the book on rats I had found. This book had almost no pictures and I decided to try out reading aloud. It went pretty well. I made sure he was following along with me, kept to the most interesting bits when I could, and stopped to ask questions about anything I thought deserved extra mention. By the end he was the one who dictated that we do one more paragraph before wrapping up. It felt positive, so I hope things can continue in this manner.
