Cody is learning to stop, look, listen and repeat the instruction before he moves on

Cody requires a substantial prompt to stop, look and listen.  He is not yet repeating the instruction but he is saying “stop, look and listen.” Cody will only respond to a very firm voice

Cody is in a hurry to do most things.  Before Cody is given an instruction you have to get him to stand in front of you and make eye contact.  He finds this act quite difficult because he is easily distracted.  When you get his attention you can then give him an instruction and this needs to be one instruction, short and concise.  He will nod his head to show that he has heard you. We are still asking Cody to repeat the instruction, he does not do this but will say "yes Miss Giles". I reply "than kyou Cody you show me you know what to do" and he will go and do it.

Cody is learning to participate in small group work or play, with minimum support

In week three, during our regular O.T session, Room 2 were fortunate to have the opportunity to play with some large foam construction shapes.  Cody was so motivated by this activity.  Mostly he likes to take the lead role and usually tries to take over.  But during this activity showed he was willing to accept help from his peers.  To encourage cooperation and sharing for Cody, we will book in for this activity again and do more construction type activities in class as a group.

Cody  tries really hard when he is doing his handwriting.  He takes a lot of pride in his work. He has made a lot of improvement with the formation of his letters.  He writes his name correctly but does have a little difficulty with the y.  Cody will continue to do handwriting three to four times a week.  Good work Cody.

Cody is learning to have one to one correspondence when he reads

Cody is reading a simple text called A monster house,  I have found that by having two words in a sentence makes it easier for Cody to follow the text with his finger.  As Cody becomes more accurate with two to three word sentences I will increase the amount of text in his instructional readers.
