s There’s not a doubt in my mind that Daniel is very smart and has so much
t potential. When it comes to his comprehension the reason why I scored him a
e 3 is because he is able to hold a conversation with classmates, but sometimes
n his classmates do have to repeat themselves because Daniel might have
i missed a specific or certain word. When asked to do something Daniel does
n comprehend although sometimes I do need to slow down my words when
g speaking to him. When working with groups he does collaborate although he
doesn’t start speaking until others communicate with him first. As week’s
progress I already feel that his comprehension is improving. In the beginning
of the year I would say “ take out your math book” and he would just stare,
but now when I say “take out your math book” he takes it out .

exactly how to say something. Daniel sometimes holds back when it comes

to answering questions. I believe it’s because he’s shy when it comes to
g
speaking in front of the whole class when listening. Although when it
comes to yes or no questions he is more than capable to answer those
types of questions. I also see that sometimes he points to objects or words
when he is trying to conversate with the other classmates in the classroom.
(Misuse of words and very limited: comprehension quite difficult.)
Vocabulary
2 When it comes to vocabulary I scored Daniel a 3. What I’ve observed
through these 5 weeks is that although he does hold conversations with
other students I do see that he sometimes uses wrong words when talking.
When this happens his classmates do correct him and help him out. One
example that comes to mind is when I heard him say “ can I get a sharpener”
and then the other student hands him one but Daniel says “no not that”. He
then pretends to write. That’s when Daniel's classmate knew he was asking
for a pencil not a sharpener. Daniels vocabulary is very limited when it
comes to speaking he always uses the smallest words possible to talk to
others.
