I met my tutee Angel again today. I read the article I gave her last week one more time before we met, and thought it's a little too long to handle in one session. But in my surprise, she already read it by herself, and brought her summary with her even though I didn't ask her to.
She really was a hard worker, and that is really good aspect for her learning.
I answered some vocabulary questions she brought--clasp, drainage, quartet, prostate cancer, and reside.., and talked our feelings about the article.
After that, we went to the next article. It was kind of sad, but impressive article we read today, and she read the whole passage alone this time. I am using 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' book because it has lots of short, but meaningful articles in it. Angel likes to read books a lot, but she said she doesn't have one like this. I will buy a good book for her soon as a gift.
I promised her to bring copies of more articles next time, because we are having fun to read together.
She was a little excited to take a bus ride for the first time today before we say good bye.
'Chicken Soup for the Soul' is a great material for extensive reading.
