Before meeting with Ms. Hommel, I met with Mrs. Hanlen, Brandon's speech teacher. Brandon likes her a lot - she is a fun lady! :) He is progressing well and now, she noticed that he still has what is called immature swallowing reflex, that sometimes does not go away until kids are as old as 10 and it means when they say, let's say, sound 's', their whole jaw goes forward. She started him wearing sort of a leash on his jaw so he is aware when he does it and now, she said, he does not need it as much.
She hopes to start working on zh, ch, sh with him soon after this reflex is less going on :) But sound 's' sounds so much better now!
Ms. Hommel had only good things to say about Brandon. He is doing very well at writing (adv) and math (adv). I am not surprised at that - he barely ever misses his goal for it. If he gets a concept of multiplication by the end of the year when she introduces it, she might consider starting him on it although they usually do not until 3rd grade. Will see.
He does need to recognize the main plot in a story, that is his only week spot but his comprehension level improved, so I hope main idea in a text is just a matter of time because he is a very smart cookie, that Brandon-Bear of mine who I love as much as my Kyrabelle :)
Good work done in this marking period! :)
