Learning Observed

As I worked alongside Marcus today I asked him to identify different common body parts on a picture. He was able to correctly identify 10 of the 12 parts asked for. Marcus was unsure of the correct name for the shoulder and little finger. We then discussed opposites - he was able to correctly tell me the opposites to big, slow, hard and quiet. Marcus is also able to name more than 7 animals when asked which includes a range of domestic and exotic animals. Marcus is developing his understanding of providing prepositions of objects when asked and is working towards understanding correct use of tenses. The Video below illustrates Marcus’s oral language skills.
