Topic/Skill: Reading/ Comprehension
Feedback provided to tutee: He learned a number of new vocabulary words and how to use them in sentences and we worked on his reading skills.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
I learned that my tutee, P.J., is a wonderful reader and comprehends most of what he reads. He tends to want to get the session over with as soon as possible. He had already done the readings that we covered with another tutor, but he didn’t remember all of it so we pressed on. It seems like he enjoys the science readings. During the session, we learned about the planets, the sun and moon, asteroids and comets. I continually checked his comprehension throughout the reading which seemed to help him understand the reading. We practiced his writing skills on his white board when we discussed the planets. He enjoyed talking about Jupiter’s moons. For his next tutoring session I believe that an intro video will help him get focused and ready for the lesson. He tends to fidget so I think that a video will help.
When P.J. reads aloud, he tends to rush through his sentences and has a monotone voice. This is something that I would like to work with him on to make him a better reader. I think that subject matter will improve this greatly however practice understanding how to read punctuation might also help.
