Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
We covered the Science portion of the test. He scored a 23, but while we were reviewing and working through a second practice test together, he did much, much better. My guess is that he reads questions too quickly on the first go and misses/misreads key words. Seems to be doing fine on timing. Next session, we'll focus on the Writing section. We decided that the sixth and final session will be on Th 9/8 as a final review before the 9/10 exam date. If this test does not go as planned, the parents are also planning for the October test date.

We talked about when certain strategies would benefit her in the math section - even the guess-and-check strategy. We also reviewed the homework that I assigned her, which was a section of reading comprehension. I had the student apply one more reading comprehension strategy to a section of passage-based questions
