During my tutoring session with my
child tutee, Claire, we once again read a story and then wrote a few sentences
about what happened in the story. For the previous books we read together, it
seemed that Claire had read the books through at least once with her mom
beforehand, so she didn’t struggle very much with pronunciation. However, it
was obvious that Claire had not read through this book yet, and it was of a
higher reading level. The story was about a ghost who was a reporter, a word
that tripped Claire up several times. Other words such as “ghoul” and “through”
were also a bit more challenging. After getting through the story, which took
about 30 minutes, I had Claire write a couple of sentences to make sure she was
able to comprehend it. She wrote about the basic plot line and some details of
the story, and it was clear that she comprehended it, despite the number of challenging
words. She then asked me to spend the night, which I had to politely refuse.
