The teacher asks Michael “what do you do when you want to tell your friend something but don’t want anybody to hear?” he replies “I would whisper in his ear”, the teacher praises him and says well done. The teacher asks how else do we talk? Michael replies “sometimes we shout at people when we are angry”, he turns around and looks at the girl next to him and says “I found an autumn leaf”!
Time 9.35 / setting in the classroom in the silent study corner- one to one reading
Michael reads well to the teacher up to page 5, when he finds it difficult to pronounce the word “catch” so the teacher tells him to sound it out.
