We were working on TOEFL reading section. Student brought her preparation books. I asked if she has general understanding about the sections structures so we could start practicing.  Then, we decided that it would be better for her to get better idea about general structure about possible reading tasks. This was also reading exercise. I made her read the text in the book. I corrected pronunciation and clarified some sections. For example, when we finished general instruction part, to be sure that she understood important nuances, I asked questions. I asked is it clear why it might take 60 or 80 minutes to finish reading section? I wanted to make sure that she captured information that she might have three or four texts. In addition, I shared how important is timing for TOEFL takers in general. Then we worked with paragraph on sculptures with follow up factual question type. She was able to find right answer, however, she was frustrated that she didn’t know many words in the text. This is signal for me, to check if this is level appropriate for her. She is level 3 right now and was able to find a right answer. I will try more reading exercises during the next session and see if she is able to answer correctly, then we will continue using this book. If I see that it is too difficult, then I will search for easier texts.
