Ben and I listened to the second chapter of our book today. We read along with a highlighter in hand, marking interesting phrases, terms we did not understand, and other important information. After the chapter was over we switched highlighters (different colors) and then went back and compared what we had chosen (and highlighted things the unique things the other person had selected). About 50% of what we highlighted was the same.
We had a good discussion of the chapter. Hearing someone read it certainly enhanced his comprehension. The plan going forward is that we will read the text and then listen to it. I will try to build some awareness of how listening is changing what he gets from the text. Hopefully that will help to develop his reading skills.
I felt good about the work we did not the book today. We will work on some background knowledge Monday and read again Tuesday.
