This week Ricardo had some work, but we finished early so I decided to have Ricardo read the book Night.  He had it in his backpack and when I saw it I asked, "Do you have to read that book."  He responded, "Yea, I have to read it for class, I started it already."  This prompted me to ask if we could read it.  I compromised with him and we decided to switch off pages.  It was great to read with Ricardo and seeing his progression from the earlier weeks.  I compromised with Ricardo because when I was being tutored as I child, I did not enjoy reading, especially school reading.  So my tutor would have me read one page and she would read the other.  I felt this was effective because it gave me a break and would allow me to be fresher to read the next page after the break.  I could tell this helped Ricardo as he read vibrantly.  With a few understandable hitches, I helped Ricardo, and when the difficult word re-appeared, he remembered it and said it clearly.  I was quite impressed.  I also was happy to read this book because I have already read it, and knowing it to be a good book, I felt encouraging Ricardo to read it would be helpful.  After reading we had time to play a 50 states game with different questions to answer which was also fun.
