Two language samples

The first was done during the first few weeks of school.It was this year, when Miss Kat switched to the oral school. The second was in May, Miss Kat was doing her book report. In a language sample all utterences are written exactly as the child says them. You don't "fill in" what they meant. Both samples are oral only.

holy crow is right, Leah!

That's amazing and wonderful -- how awesome to be able to communicate so very much, so well! Give that girl a big hug from this random stranger on the web :)

I really need to do this type of sampling, just to get a sense of progression. I'd love to see a jump like that!
