"Today I introduced the student to reading strategies. I set the purpose with using these different skills to make sure we understand what we are reading and making us stronger readers. The three strategies we used were prediction, compare and contrast, and personal connections. He did a really good job with using the strategies when prompted. We worked with a Venn diagram to compare characters in our first text, and used personal connections with him and his brother. Then we made a prediction for the following chapter. When we started Stink, he reviewed the notes we took the last time we were together and read chapter 3. During this session, most of our time went to reading, and we quickly reviewed the multiplication we did. He did the quick quiz with 100 percent accuracy."

"Today I introduced the word family-am and -an. Again I first review the letter sounds. Then we begin learning the -am and -an word family. After that, we begin practice reading by adding a consonant at the begin of the word (e.g. c-at). The same applies for the -an family. The student is making good progress. She is a beginning reader, so she still takes her time to decode sounds and blend sounds together."

"Today I met the boys and we worked on a reading passage and writing responses to the story. They responded well to the online environment. They were able to use all the tools and answer all the questions. They seemed excited about the online tutoring!"
