To start off this week, we had a review of the words B went over the week before. He did better than before and only had difficulties with ruler, textbook, and crayon. B has demonstrated that he is not guessing as much and is making the link between the words in oral and written form.
To introduce something new this week, I decided to introduce the idea of sentences. This was something he seemed little more uncomfortable with. He says the sentences after I say them, but hardly does it other times due to an apparent lack of confidence in his understanding. The sentences were "Do you have....", "Yes, I do.", "No I don't", and "Do you have...?". We practiced saying them a few times before moving on to something new.
Studies have shown that students who are learning a new language respond well to games. I found a board game which would encourage B to practice his sentences, but he would only say them with encouragement. This may change over time and we will continue to work on his sentences.
