Elizabeth ...reading and writing, special education, study skills, and organization skills. My favorite subject to tutor is reading because the ability to read allows individuals to learn and have many new experiences through stories they read.

Learning should be relevant to real life and connected to a student's prior knowledge. It should also be fun--even...

One such way is associating what is being taught to a real world scenario. When we make...
