TP #6 -Mark G.

I met up with David last Wednesday for our weekly tutoring session. Like most weeks he had reading homework to complete as well as an entry in his reading journal. He had to read a short story and answer questions about it. We read the story together and I had to remind David a couple of times to slow down and to respect punctuation marks. This is a recurring problem for him. We then answered the questions which were about comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking. He did 90% of the questions just fine and only needed some help going back to the story to verify some facts. David has a very good memory!...Next we read his story and I quizzed him on the vocabulary in the back. I like the books he picks out because they have a glossary in the back of new words that were introduced. David has some issues with spelling and that is why I try to have him write down the word and figure it out. All in all it was a very good tutoring session and I am well aware now of David's needs and am working at them with him.
