My literacy observation of Glenn was during computer class. Glenn prefers the storybooks vs. the alphabet and other games. In between helping other students, I observed Glenn going from one story to another for the majority of computer time (12:15p to 1:00p). He is right-handed and has no problems using the mouse. In the beginning he had some difficulties following instructions on where to the click within the story. Mrs. Lacher asked him if he could hear the instructions with the headphones. Glenn nodded "yes." After that he started clicking where he was supposed to in order to move the story along.
I also observed that Glenn's attention span is longer when hearing stories on the computer than being read to in class. It may have to do with the "active" illustrations on the computer. He did enjoy the book From Head to Toe by Eric Carle -- it may have to do with the movements involved in the book. I had the kids do all the animals movements from the book.
