During my first tutoring session I like to begin by assessing a student’s reading level using a running record diagnostic test based on current reading assessment standards. Then, I will formulate lesson plans based on these results, which includes a complete language arts block during each of my sessions.
Every session will include a lesson on grammatical concepts presented through reading a short leveled book and concluding with a comprehension assessment about the book to assess mastery of these new concepts. Then the student and I will determine together which concepts they have mastered, and which we will revisit and practice further in future sessions.
Above all else, I want to foster a love of reading in my students! I am an avid reader, and would love nothing more than for my students to feel the same way. I incorporate the use of a document camera during my sessions. Therefore, I am able to read physical books of my own, and ones that I have gotten from the library during each session. Also, students are able to read these books to me.
At the end of each session, I encourage students to let me know if there is a book that they would like for me to get for them from the library that we can read together! A love of reading is truly fostered when a child learns what genre of books they are interested in! Please feel free to message me for tutoring inquiries. Looking forward to connecting soon!
