Instead of meeting Sally and Rayna, I only met Jason this time. Expecting to meet the girls, I did not plan anything in particular for Jason. Since it came to this, I asked Jason to pick out a book from the library. We sat down and read about soccer since Jason enjoyed playing soccer. This was more of an extensive reading exercise. While reading aloud, I noticed that Jason will sometimes skip words, or mutter a sound in substitution. This is when I told him to sound out the word, and asked him if he knew what the word was. I realized that he did not actually understand some sentences. To make sure he understands, I asked him to tell me what each sentence meant from then on. He had some difficulty understanding the word “proud.” I tried to explain this word by telling him how his father was proud of him. Of course, I first told him that proud meant being very happy towards someone because something they have done. I told him that since he played soccer, spoke amazing English, and was a good child, his father was proud of him.  We went over some example sentences, few of which he created himself. During the reading, the words he knew, he knew well. However, he would stumble on a word every so often, but overall it went well. He learned new words and was able to use them well.
