new student, Elsa, 7 years old, unsure of what grade she's in. Very nervous and kept her hands over her mouth until she relaxed and got less giggly (when Mom left the room). Understands more than she says she does. Answers simple "favorites" questions, had some problems sounding out letters but started to catch on; content appropriate. Read to me from her English schoolbook. Elsa can make some good sentences when answering questions.
