Met with Sunny. This time I aloud her to do some oral reading. We read from various different text. I gave her the opportunity to choose from various selections. First we began reading from the Wall Street Journal, which after a few paragraphs we stopped and review a few terms that was found in the text.
I didnt think that this type of reading was a good source for her level. She read through the basic words fine. I think that there were probably to many terms that we had to define, which made comprehension a little more difficult. After that we reading from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkanban!
Sunny initally insisted that we read from the newspaper. I was trying to explain to her that we should use this in hope that she knew a bit more of the vocabulary so that we could focus on our comprehension. She argeed and we proceeded to read. A side from the fictional English(UK) terms I was able to point out a more descriptive visual for her. I think next time I choose a difficult text with more of an American cultural setting.
