"Reading comprehension to answer questions from text: using heading to locate information, finding specific information, summarizing text for answer."

"Since the student doesn't have any deficits with his reading, writing, or comprehension, and his parents are just taking a proactive approach in that they do not want him to develop any issues in any of those areas, I have decided to work with him using a program that will increase his reading skills, as well as his comprehension and vocabulary skills. The session went very well. He was engaged and his parents were very pleased. I will go back next Friday for another two-hour session. "

"During the session, the student and I worked on some reading comprehension passages in preparation for the FSA Reading test that he would be having within the next couple of weeks, reinforcing all of the skills he has accrued in the past several weeks. Based on his work during the session, he was able to answer a majority of the questions correctly. He had a bit of trouble understanding the connotation and in-context definition of some words, which we reviewed by returning back to the passage and seeing how vocabulary and details reinforce the larger main ideas of the passages provided. I left him with one more reading passage to complete on the practice test we reviewed and encouraged him to read through the passage, answer the questions, and provide reasoning as to why he arrived at the answer."

"We reviewed different videos of people taking the citizenship exam to identify variations of the questions. I helped the student learn new ways of answering the exam questions and familiarized her to different voices, tones, and speeds of talking. I left her with homework to watch a few more videos and take notes on unfamiliar words to go over in our next session. "
