Learning Observed

I completed the JOST Assessment (Junior Oral Language Screening Tool) with Jeffa. It was great that he was able to correctly identify 10 of the 12 body parts that were shown to him on the picture. He also knew the names of more than 7 animals - all from z the zoo. Jeffa was also able to tell me the functions of all the body parts asked for; ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. He also has sound knowledge of verbs and prepositions (in, on, beside, behind etc). Jeffa enjoyed telling me what about what was happening in the picture.
