On Monday I had my last tutoring session with my child tutee
Matthew. We read 2 chapters of a new book. I would give him a chocolate gold
coin at the end of each chapter, if he gave his full attention to the story
while we read it and was able to answer comprehension questions and summarize
the main points of each chapter. He was very receptive to obtaining the
chocolate coin and gave me his full and undivided attention. Then we proceeded
to math word problems, which we breezed through so fast that we had an extra 15
minutes to our tutoring session. We used this time to review spelling words. We
broke up the 15 minutes into 3 spelling tests, each containing 10 words. At the
end of each test I would check his spelling and have him write the words he got
wrong down as a pyramid scheme (starting with one letter and building each
progressive letter until he completed writing the full word). At the end of all
3 tests I tested him on all the words he got wrong and told him if he correctly
spelled them he would get a gold coin. I have him 30 seconds to review the
words he got wrong. When I tested him on these words he correctly spelled all
of them. I enjoyed this particular tutoring session, and I think Matthew did as
well.
