For my second reading observation I want to start off by changing my introduction of Jaelee. I had a chance to meet and talk to Jaelee’s mother for the first time and found out the information Jaelee’s father had provided me was incorrect. Jaelee is not diagnosed with A.D.H.D the doctors that have seen her feel that there is a big possibility she might have A.D.H.D. but have not diagnosed her with the disorder.

But Jaelee said she can’t do it and lost interest and wanted to do something else. Jaelee and I went out in the playground and I watched her play on the slide and run around and have fun. Jaelee wanted me to stay next to her the whole time and while we were walking around I noticed a sign that read “Germ Fighter Club”. I asked Jaelee if she could read the sign she said no, so I asked her if I point at a letter could she tell what letter it was, she said ok. So I pointed to the G and Jaelee did not know what letter that was. I asked her to point to the letters that she does know and say what they are. She knew the E’S the M and the F. I also found a piece of paper that had the numbers one through ten on it, and asked Jaelee if she could tell what the paper said. She could count just fine every number without a problem. Jaelee took some calk and wrote E.T. on the ground with no problems as
