John TS 18-19

Date/Time: September 25th Monday 1:00pm-3:00pm.

Tuttee: Ye-Won.

Location: Hecht House.

Topic/Skill: Reading and Speaking.

Feedback provided to tutee: I corrected my tutee’s ability to comprehend a story when reading at an accelerated pace. I corrected her understanding of onomatopoeia words such as "woof". I used crossword puzzles to correct her understanding of key vocabulary found in the books that were gone over and used these puzzles to evaluate her ability to understand the book as a whole with the hints being given in the context of the book. The rate of progression has been good and I can see noticeable improvements as the weeks go on with the reading speed and comprehension. 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I did go over a book the tutee was assigned again but I tried to change the way I went over the book so the student would understand the book more which I think was a great way to conduct this session. I tried tying the topics of the book with themes that she is more familiar with and likes more to enhance her reliability with the book. It was great to hear that she is reading books on her own now as I have been trying to drive home the point that reading is fun. I think my way of acting out certain scenes makes the lessons a lot more silly and fun for the tutee and also keeps her engaged the entire time. I think I am doing a fairly good job at this point as I am a lot more comfortable with this.
