Sabrina's report card

Her report card got a little better. There’s only one thing that has a checkmark on the “Experiencing Difficulties.” That’s her “Written Expression.” Of course there are two categories her teacher checked on the border of “Meets Expectations” and “Experiencing Difficulties.” That’s her “Comprehension” and “Listens to and Follows Directions.” The best, though, is what her teacher wrote in the comments. “Sabrina’s reading has greatly improved this trimester – thank you for all your hard work. Sabrina has a lot of creative ingenuity and uses it quite well when it’s something she is interested in or has control over. Otherwise she shows little or no interest.” I think it sums up Sabrina well. If she likes it, she does it. If she doesn’t like it, as little work as possible to be done – including not actually reading anything, guessing on everything works for her. Her reading has improved so much that she’s not testing borderline reading recovery anymore. Of course, that’s because she likes reading now – occasionally.
