Recent Prairie Village Tutoring Session Notes
Since we had not had a chance to yet, the student and I first worked on his "words of the week" assignment. He did a great job this time at coming up with words from the letters given - I can tell he's really improving in his reading and awareness of spelling by the speed that he had at this! Then he grouped the words he found into long and short vowels, a distinction he's also very good at. We also worked on his reading assignment for the last time this week, wrote down his time, and completed his writing assignment of writing down one thing he learned from the story. In addition, we spent a little time looking at information I had brought on a celebrity and coming up with a few facts for him to memorize for his role as said celebrity next Friday. He practiced reciting his facts from an index card where I wrote them, and I left the info for him to keep practicing next week.

Student 1 worked on penmanship, spelling, and math today. The penmanship involved the letters A, C, D, and E. We discussed the starting and ending points for each letter and how they should flow into each other. We worked on 9 spelling words today and grouped them. This helped the student memorize the spellings. Lastly, Student 1 worked on subtracting fractions with different denominators.
Student 2 said that she did not have homework. The session was focused on multiplication and division practice. She has a good knowledge of how to multiple 3 and 4 digit numbers by 1 digit. The next session is on Thursday at 4:30pm.

The student and I reviewed all the material for the Science section, going through drills and a couple of practice sessions. He seemed to pick up various tactics pretty quickly and remembered a lot of the details we talked about. He said at the end of the session that he felt much more comfortable with science. His strength were charts and graphs problems - he could find where the information was located with a relative deal of ease. The student is less naturally adept at and has to put forth greater effort to do his experiment passages. We might spend some time reviewing in a future session. Next time we will start covering the Reading section.

The student and I covered data analysis and probability, then worked together through a practice math section. We discussed and practiced strategies for quantitative comparison, single multiple choice, and multiple choice questions. She has not yet taken any full-length practice tests on her own since we began tutoring, but she seems to be making good strides with the material.

The student wasn't able to retake his test on Friday, so we reviewed the materials. I repeatedly quizzed him on the topics and he was able to answer the questions. I asked him to study the test once a day until he retakes it. I think he is beginning to realize that repetition is important for remembering the material.
