Skill – Vocabulary acquisition

He selected a book from Mary Pope Osborne titled “High tide in Hawaii” – A ship. He is very focus on reading and writing a summary on one chapter. I tried to find the number of words on the back of the book and I could not find it. It looks level appropriate for Matthew; he is an expert with the books from Mary Pope.

After he completed reading and writing the summary, I noticed that he was aware of what I recommended last week. His writing skills are very good.

I tried to diagnose his productive knowledge of one word, dog. To my surprise he knew more than half of the 8 meanings, parts of speech and usage of the word, Snow page 178.

I prepared a couple of paragraphs on Matthews favorite sport soccer, with blanks on key words like game, free kick, score and soccer.  He failed a few words and I think he was losing interest because he found out that his brother completed his homework.

He is interested in the subject of geology, specially rocks, He also likes pets specially dogs.

Lesson Learned: I like to find out if Matthew can read complete books level appropriate. He is good at skimming books of subjects like Star wars and science fiction. I am impressed with his disposition.

I need to spend sometime with the mother in order to find out if I can help on a specific need.
