As usual, I met with Youngseo at the Collins public library for our weekly tutoring session. As always, she was excited and ready to get to work. It has really been a blessing tutoring a kid that is so eager and cooperative.
This time, she had a few pages of homework for us to work on. The first was another sight word worksheet. At this point, she has her sight words pretty down pat as she was able to quickly say all of them. On the next worksheet, she had to fill in the blank of the first letter of a simple word, with a picture of the word included. For example, there would be a picture of an apple and next to it would be "_pple." She was able to complete this worksheet without much trouble. Next, we tried some reading from another princess book she brought with her, and took breaks to color as always.
Overall, I think Youngseo is progressing very well. I can see her confidence in English build with every passing week. However, sometimes I wonder if she comprehends what she is reading. I suppose she does understand most of it based on her reactions, but I still think there are times where she can sound out the words but doesn't actually know what they are saying. I guess that's to be expected with a beginner, however.
