new year…new post
Stephen de Jesus Frias on Feb 11th 2010
So we’re finally back…after such a longgggggg break. I was a little anxious going back because I knew it had been a long time and I was worried that my tutee may have forgotten a lot of the work. However, how wrong was I! Not only did he remember the words we went over last year, but he improved! I was so happy to see that, it really made my day to know that this work is not in vain and these kids are really coming out with something. After going over the sight words we did some little worksheets…very dull, he ran through that in two seconds. So I let him pick out a book to read. He read it and then we drew pictures and made up a few sentences for it. That was around the time Mr. Medina et al came so my tutee was a little nervous but he pulled through. After they left we finished up what we were drawing and showed each other. He actually helped me with mine so I let him keep that for himself and I took the other one to put in his folder. I’m really happy that there was improvement, it makes these sessions ever more worthwhile. I should be getting one more child next week, hopefully things continue to get better

It sounds like your student is really improving, Stephen! I asked Christy if she thought that the students read over the break. Do you think yours did? Was he encouraged to read during the break? I also wonder, if overall, having you as a tutor is an incentive for them to read more without being asked. Do you think they develop a sense of wanting to “impress” you/their tutor?
