Kane TS#8

On May 24th I met with P.J. for our last tutoring session. For this session I found an article that talked about experimenting and figuring things out by doing experiments. Once I again I had questions at the end of the article for P.J. to answer. I insisted P.J. take his time to read and answer the questions so he would only have to read the story once. The questions were a little harder than normal so I assumed we would have to read more than once. P.J. read the article and had a pretty easy time with the vocabulary words found within. When the we got the comprehension questions P.J. and I had to go back to the story multiple times to find the answer. I think the questions may have been a little too hard. P.J was able to answer all the questions but I told him that he needed to slow down when reading. If he slowed down he wouldn't have to read the story multiple times or get questions wrong he knew were right. I had a blast tutoring P.J. and I learned about what works and what doesn't work when it comes to teaching kids. P.J. is leaving for Korea soon and will be speaking Korean the whole summer. Hopefully he doesn't forget some of the vocabulary words we learned the past 4 weeks!
