Last week, Dave was reading with Brandon. They are supposed to read for 20 minutes. Apparently, Dave’s definition of reading with Brandon is sitting with him, but looking at his phone, surfing, whatever. I read along with him, making sure he doesn’t omit, insert, or invert words, which he tends to do. It sounds fluent, but he is not reading as written. So, when I saw them this way, I told both of them that the time hadn’t started, though they were 15 minutes in or so.
Now, yesterday, they were reading again, but Dave was putting Brandon’s clothes away. I was walking by, and heard Brandon tell Dave, “You have to watch me otherwise Mommy will make us do it over again!” Haha…he learned his lesson.
