Book Buddies
This week when I met with Jaron I walked into the classroom and I was scanning the classroom for like normal but I couldn’t find him, a brief moment of panic set in, but then I found him and the teacher chuckled and said we switched seats this week. I assume the panic was written all over my face, after realizing they switched seats it made me happy to think about my classroom and being able to be in control of assigned seats and who fits best where and so forth.
This week with Jaron we completed a writer’s checklist, but before I had Jaron complete a writing sample, I first read the book I brought for him this week.

Children continue to use letter names to represent sounds, but at this more advanced stage…Certain vowels and silent letters may be omitted.” (Page 111) With the beginning writer’s checklist Jaron didn’t complete most of the items listed. After he completed his writing sample I asked if he usually makes webs to organize his thoughts, or reads it aloud when he’s completed it for feedback and that’s when it dawned on me that Jaron is not confident in his reading capabilities. I don’t know what this stems from I could possibly infer from his speech impediment he might deem himself as ‘different’ but I can’t say for certain. I think Jaron’s writing could improve if he were to begin
