Wednesday afternoon (the 14th) I met with David Hong for the final time. We watched some Rescue 911 episodes: one was about a boy that was choking on corn and his grandmother did CPR on him until the ambulance got there. The other one was about a man who tried to go down a chimney to burglarize a house at Christmas time and ended up getting stuck, so the firefighters had to come and break up the chimney to get him out.
As before I had him write a short summary about each video, but I was also trying to get him to focus on some of the smaller details that enhance one's comprehension of a story. He and Matthew (like most other 8 year olds) have difficulty focusing on the small details which precede the main action of the story that build one's understanding of what is happening.
About half way through we kept up our custom and went over and played a round of Uno with Matthew and Lindsey to take a break and liven things up. After that was done we played a little bit of hangman (I told him that he needed to come up with the words and I would guess them, which he did) and then some tic tak toe.

Oh that was such a fun way to teach your tutee about comprehension and deductive reasoning via collecting clues (details) and putting them together to get the main idea!
