"We worked on more reading and vocabulary and lastly went over basic fraction concepts so the student knows how to deal with different kinds of problems. Did well on the reading section he tried at, but didn't do well when he wasn't trying. As long as the student puts all his efforts into the test, he should do well."

"The test that the student and I worked on today was incredibly difficult. She did a very good job on it, taking her time and not panicking when the complex passages came up. Her grammar is improving and I think if we can work together on slowing down, and more "active reading," she will have an easier time."

"In this session, the student and I reviewed concepts for her upcoming math quiz. The concepts included converting percentages to decimals and vice versa and using the percent equation. She seemed very well prepared for the quiz as she did very well on the practice problems she was given. As long as she takes her time she will do great. We rounded out our session by looking over some practice math SAT problems. She plans to take the SAT in January."

"Began with a "getting to know you" writing activity focused on gathering information and synthesizing it into a written paragraph. Homework assistance in "Freshman Perspectives" writing activity. Organized midterm review (to be continued next week). For next time: the student will review his old biology tests, selecting those topics that he struggled with so we can review them. He has also been given a journal which he is to write in for 15 minutes everyday (if possible). This is to help build his writing skills."

"Homework help in mathematics. Reviewed subtraction/addition symbols and concepts. It became immediately clear that the student was unclear on, or at least not fully confident with, basic adding/subtracting concepts, so we reviewed these for most of the first half of the session and then tackled his math homework together. "

"Today the student and I read a new book together and he wrote a response for his online forum. While reading, we discussed the setting of the book, traits of the different characters, what he thought would happen next, and what different similes and metaphors meant. He did a great job with responding to questions about the overall themes in the story. We also went over his weekly reading comprehension sheet which, for this week, was focused on reading for information. The second student and I also read a story together and wrote a summary. She did well today with not guessing at words and working on sounding them out. After reading we worked on her spelling words for the week. Although she had some difficulty with the silent "e's" in the words, overall she did very well. We worked on her writing them, spelling them out loud, and responding to my spelling them out loud. "

"Today's session focused on word work and reading. We practiced sorting the student's word work words, as well as spelling them. Last session, I noticed that she tended to skip lines when reading longer books, so to help her with this, we practiced reading using an index card. This allowed her to keep track of her reading. Since it was her first time reading with an index card, it was a little difficult. We will continue practicing with the index card during our next session. We also worked on retelling stories, discussing parts we liked or didn't like in a book and I introduced the concept of author's message to her. We will continue to build on these concepts as well during our next session. I left some books for her to practice with until then. "
