Notes
Lindsey began the session by sharing a new insight she gained since our last meeting. She explained that the phrasing strategy I introduced several weeks ago is finally starting to click. During a recent class, her instructor discussed syntax, which helped her make a meaningful connection to the phrasing work we’ve been focusing on. As a result, she expressed a growing interest in deepening her understanding of this area.
With Lucas having met his goal and transitioning to a fluency group, Lindsey would like to use our remaining sessions to further develop and reflect on her instructional practice. Together, we drafted a goal to support this focus, and we will begin working toward it this week.
