He did most of the homework for 'The Boy with the Striped Pajamas'. We completed all of the comprehension questions for Chapter 11. I assigned chapter 12 and 13. He chose to work on the book Oxford English 8 rather than online. He completed the first two pages of Chapter 3.
He struggles with open ended inference type questions. He did have some difficulty with verb types with the paragraph question.
