Tutoring

I had my second tutoring session. I was happy to see how she reread the book I left for her. I am using word study and found a printable book that has a lot of the words from the word study! She was more fluent and only has a few errors. I could tell she practiced yesterday!


We then worked on rereading her sight word cards. She flipped them over and read them aloud to me. She only struggled with two words. She said she practiced with her Mom. YAY! This is a child who needs a lot of repeated practice. Next I had her write her word study words on the white board. She did awesome and only spelled on word wrong.


We then did some reading sheets with sight words. I noticed when she reads, she does have some awareness of reading strategies. She will read a word wrong and self-correct b/c I can see she knows the sentence does not make sense. She is also trying to sound out words, so I know she has some understanding of sounding out words.


The final activity of the day was reading from a basal reader. We read the "new words" for the story, read the story, and answered the questions on the last page. Then she reread it a second time. She was excited about the book and wanted to look through more stories. I said we would use it on again next week. I may do a sequencing activity with the story on Friday.


I also want to find or make a reading game for Friday. I am going to do some web searching tomorrow to figure out what game to play.

Another good tutoring session! I really hope she keeps up the good work & also reads the materials I left for her!
