Salah (Child) TS # 11:
Date/Time: 8/4/15 17:50-18:50
Location: Leroy Collins Public Library
Topic/Skill: contractions, letter sounds, handwriting, new vocab
For this tutoring
session, I wanted to focus on the use of 'contractions' and brought a printout
of common contractions to assist me.
I explained that we use contractions
mainly to save time and used the example of Young’s name (her name is actually
Youngseo), but most people just call her Young for short.
We started with some of
the more common examples such as: should not – shouldn’t etc. She seemed
to get the idea fairly quickly.
Young had also brought
some homework to work on. We went through a few letter sounds like Rr, Qq,
Tt, Bb etc. I asked her to write out a line for each letter pair (to
practice handwriting the letters) and then we went over the sound.
Finally, I asked her to try to think of words that had that sound in it)
ex: Rr - sound - Robot etc. I also tried to come up with a few words, if
she was stuck.
Other homework topics
included: spelling words with a silent 'e', such as: cape, game, lake, base
etc. and high frequency words like: help, too, have, they etc.
Young was going to have
a birthday in two days, so I told her that next time I saw her, she would be 6
years old!
