I met with Pete again on Tuesday. I felt bad because I had to pull him away from a game of Scrabble o the breezeway, but he didn't mind. We talked for a few minutes about how our weeks have been going.
We got into talking about modals, which Pete said he was very confused with. He had a worksheet for homework and after my first glance at it, I admitted that I was also a little confused with some of the examples. It was tough to describe to him the differences between "could, should, must, may, might, etc." Pete doesn't get discouraged easily and beared with me. I tried my best and I think that I helped Pete's understanding of modals in the end.
I asked Pete if he wanted to continue reading the exchange student journals from the Rotary website. He asked me just to give him the link rather than read it together. I'm excited that he showed some interest in reading in his free time. He's clearly beyond the point of intensive reading limitations.
