Victoria TP 4

I met with Bushra on Wednesday and since she had mentioned to me that she had problems with pronouncing new words I decided to bring a book for her to read out loud. I brought The Berenstain Bears - Trouble with Friends. I thought that it would be easy and entertaining for her. She would stop and ask me the meaning of words she did not know. When she had a problem with a word she would ask me for help and I would have her try first. She sounded it out quietly and then gave it her best shot. Most of the time she was right if not very close to it. The book has little rhymes for when the girls get mad at each other and I was able to explain these to her. There was a good amount of new vocabulary terms and wrote them down for later use. One thing she needs to work on is her intonation when she reads. She read the story in a very monotone way and that can sometimes be confusing.
