TS#1 Child

My first meeting with Andy went well. He is a six year-old from South Korea who has been in the US for less than 2 years but because of his age and the frequency by which he is exposed to English at school, his accent does not strike me as being colored by a foreign sound. Andy loves superheroes, especially Batman, so the primary evaluation of his language skills consisted of reading a Batman book and getting to know one another by talking about ourselves.  Andy's father Kyoung-bo wants Andy to work on pronunciation and speaking since they are planning on moving back to South Korea in the summertime. Because we meet at Books-a-Million, and because Andy loves to read, I intend to use reading material to guide our conversations to try to get Andy speaking and working on language production.
