Belle,
My first speech therapy session was pretty much like that when I was in 2d grade due to the great resentment I felt towards school having been transition from a K4-7 Montessori. It evolved into later sessions where I would read middle school level books aloud while the therapist followed along.
I cannot recall what the trigger was for her to re-eval her approach - I just recall we starting a new approach. Maybe my mom clued her in - I don't know.
Just some perspective from a former DS.
Edit:
Ebeth hits it partly, too. Both sides make snap judgements - logical vulnerabilities are triggered - and reason goes out the window!!!
