Comprehension Exercises with Dylan #3 - using all senses

This week I read a chapter from one of Dylan’s books to him while he closed his eyes. I told him to really try to put himself there. I said that he should use all of his senses; try to hear the events, feel, smell, see and feel the emotions. He is a stubborn one. After the chapter I asked him if he smelled anything and went through all the senses. He was very hesitant. I had to mention specific occurrences in order to get anything out of him and it was sparse even then.
So that leaves me going in a backward direction. Next week I will go back and attempt to engage all the senses separately.
