Date/Time: 25/3/15 17:50-18:50
Location: Leroy Collins Public Library
Topic/Skill: Reading, pronunciation in English
For this tutoring session, I wanted to try applying the reading lesson I had worked on in class ie: teaching Young to read the story of Cinderella. Her mother informed me that she had seen the movie last week, so it was good timing.
I started by introducing her to the characters through a matching exercise ie: match the name on a list to a picture (handout I had provided).
Young started reading the text (I had printed out the story and also had a few Cinderella story books picked out from the library catalog.
When Young was tired, we took a break by doing her favorite activity - drawing. She enjoyed sketching Cinderella and the stepsisters. I joined in by tracing a picture for a while (my artistic ability isn't as good as Youngs!)
Young's mother also informed me that she wanted Young to spend some time during the session, on some homework she had from class. Her homework focused on reading words that had the 'z' sound in them and practice with writing out lower and uppercase Y & Z letters. Lastly, she had to practice writing out her name. As I expected, Young found this work boring as she said it was 'too easy!'
It was nice to have Ben from class was observing this session, too.
