Today we watched the first episode of Avatar the last air bender. Juanfe enjoyed it, he said he had never heard of the series and it was interesting. we watched it with closed caption so it would be easier for him to understand. Avatar was age appropriate and level appropriate for him. His speaking skills are not very fluent but hes more skilled in reading and appears to do more of bottom up processing when watching the tv show. After the show we talked about it and what he liked about it. He got a bit caught up with a phrase that he wasn't sure how to say so we broke it down word for word. I realized its not that he didn't know the vocab, but he just was not sure how to structure the sentence in a fluid way. He later told me he was just nervous and i was speaking a bit fast, which made him want to be able to speak as fast. He enjoyed it because he is being able to practice and wants to improve but I realized that I too need to speak a bit slower and understand his speaking skills are at a lower level.
