On Monday, May 29, 2017, from 5:00pm to 5:45pm, I met with my child tutee at his house.  I actually worked with several of his siblings as well.  Since we have been working on letters, I made a matching card game to bring to the kids.  I wrote all the letters and drew pictures of objects that started with the letters on the other half of the cards.  The kids loved this game.  It was a great way to practice saying the letters and identifying objects that started with those letters.  I learned that games really keep the children’s attention.  Unlike some of the other activities I have tried, the kids could focus for longer periods of time with a game.  They were also willing to work together and identify the letters because it was a game.  It was fun to play with them and watch them find a match.  I felt that I learned a lot about how to play and interact with kids while teaching them a little.  I plan to use more games in our future sessions.
