Last night was my last tutoring session with PJ. We spent the first 45 minutes working on assignments that he had for homework, the last 15 minutes were spent playing "Guess Who".

This tutoring session went by relatively smoothly with PJ. The first assignment we worked on was to read a sign about a mayor that was running for office. After PJ read the sign he would answer yes or no questions on the candidate. "Would the candidate be a good mayor?" PJ did a good job in answering the questions, I only had to help him once to figure out the answer to a question.

The next assignment was a vocabulary assignment. PJ was to match the vocabulary words with the best definition. PJ used the process of elimination by first filling out the vocabulary words he knew and then slowly figuring out the next ones as time went on. The vocabulary words were politically themed some of the words were, elect, government, and candidate.

The final assignment that PJ had was to speed read an article on the Olympics. He was assigned to read the article as fast as he could. He read the article 4 times, with 2 minute breaks in between. Each time PJ improved his speed reading time except for the last time he was 3 seconds slower.

After all of the assignments were finished we played "Guess Who". PJ improved since last time, he was much quicker and actually beat me more times than I beat him. We also improved his vocabulary by using words like blonde and brunette. PJ had a lot of fun with this assignment.
