Skill – Reading

After consulting with Matthew’s mom the week before, I decided to bring a story about Roly-Poly Pill Bugs for Matthew to read instead of Mary Pope routine reading. He is so familiar with the Mary Pope series of books about that he can write a summary just by looking at the title of a chapter. Sadly he did not want to read the level appropriate reading that I search for him, I was very disappointed. He read and summarized, Polar Bear past Bed time by Mary Pope. I did some word correction and sentence review.

I did help him with his homework, he had a very interesting set of vocabulary words to review, (assigned, generosity, gingerly, mature, organization, residents, scattered and selective). He was able to define each one of the words.

I asked him which books he likes tom read the most and he mentioned Fiction type of books, Lego Books and Geology books about gem rocks.

Lesson Learned: Not to give up and I will keep trying to convince Matthew about the importance of reading material from different writers with different topics and vocabulary that will enrich him.
