However, when asking questions that dealt with comprehension, she really struggled. It was fairly eye opening in the sense that it changed my perspective on how to approach reading and writing activities; fluency doesn't equate to comprehension! ]]> 2018-03-14 21:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tub03890/51mg4ows73ub/wish/242121113 https://padlet.com/tub03890/51mg4ows73ub/wish/242121129 The miscue analysis seemed odd to me...maybe I just couldn't keep up with the student's reading...

I also had a lot of trouble with my student taking part in the one on one sessions. Just getting him to show up was a win. Getting work from him was a bonus.
