Today I met with Claire and we read a book about the history of ice cream! During our last 2 sessions, Claire's mother has asked that we work on summarizing the story. While reading the book about ice cream, Claire and I would work on summarizing every few pages to make sure she was comprehending what we were reading. To help Claire summarize, I would ask her questions about the previous pages. The questions were about characters, setting, and plot. Claire seemed a little uninterested in our session at first, but as the book got more interesting she began to respond better. Claire seemed to have more trouble reading this book than any other we have read so far. But, I did notice that book was much harder than the rest of the books we have read. This book had much larger words and more difficult sentences to read. I think our biggest breakthrough of the day was teaching Claire how to read dates. Pronouncing 1900 like nineteen hundred instead of one thousand nine hundred. Claire was able to answer all of the comprehension question I provided for her at the end of the story, as well as the ones provided by the book.
