I met with Yahiyah on Wednesday at 12:00 P.M. I brought a book for him. We read and paraphrased the first chapter together. The book was called House of Leaves. House of Leaves is a very complex book about a mysterious house and a mysterious record. I thought it level appropriate for Yahiyah as he wished to learn High frequency words. I told Yahiyah the best way to learn high frequency words was through reading. We did an intensive reading style exercise where we read each paragraph. We then took out the main points out of each paragraph. We also went over much vocabulary that Yahiyah did not know. I explained to Yahiyah that Americans did not know these words as well. I explained to him that these words could be skipped over and you could still get the meaning.
