Looking at the two boys' reading log (exhibit 18), I can tell that both of them has begun to develop a more independent reading habit. Although Jesse has shown very limited and inconsistent progress in engagement in reading in this cycle, at times, he was still able to grasp the concept taught, namely making self-to-text connections to the main characters in a whole-class setting. Right now, I am leaning toward to be concern about Jesse's behavior problem more than his disengagement in reading and learning. He seems to be very reluctant in reading and learning most of the time, however, when he has set his mind to do it, especially when he is not told to do it, he naturally does it. I am not sure as how to tackle this concern. On the other hand, Nathan has definitely shown an increase in motivation in reading. Showing him steps to pick 'just-right' books, introducing him to texts that he could relate to, and teaching him how to make connections are indisputably elevating his engagement and accountability in reading.

It's clear that Nathan is responding well to your work. Good job! I still wonder, based on what research has told us about boys' literacy practices, whether you might try using other forms of texts besides printed pages to motivate Jesse as a reader. Keep up the good work you are doing in reporting your MARP!
