Lately I have been working with my field experience case study and I do not think it is going as well I was hoping. My student is really nice and seems eager to talk about anything but reading and writing. He is one of the students who is on the lower reading level scale. He seems really smart but just isn't interested in reading and writing. 

When reading to him, he seems to get distracted easily. When I try to utilize some of the strategies we have learned in class, he seems to not want to listen. I will ask a question and he will half way answer it and start talking about other things. I even picked out books centered around subjects he likes. I had the same experience when I told him he was writing for me during out meeting. He responded with, "I hate writing," and then started to talk about other things. I eventually got him to write but he would not read back to me. I have no idea how to go from here but I hope I eventually figure it out so we both can have a positive experience.
