Location: Tutee's Home
Topic/Skill: Reading Comprehension
Feedback Provided to Tutee: For this tutoring session I brought PJ a fiction novel I thought he might enjoy. I brought The Lightning Thief, which on the Scholastics website is for ages 9-12 and grades 4-8. During this session, PJ and I read through Chapter 1. As we went through the chapter, I explained the words he may not know and asked him short questions about the reading to keep him engaged.
Lesson(s) about Tutoring and/or the Tutee You Learned: I think this novel is longer than anything PJ has read before. He was even skeptical that it was his level when I brought it in for him. After reading through the first chapter, I think PJ became less intimidated by the size of the book. I learned that PJ really does have fun reading when the book interests him. I am hoping that as we continue to read, he will get more excited about the book. I would like for him to want to continue reading on his own even if we don't have a tutoring session.
