The student and I worked through a number of timed verbal passages. During the first run through, we worked in a testing environment. During the second run through, we practiced previewing questions and active reading. The student had some difficulty with extremely detail-oriented passages. I believe that more active reading practice will help him to block out the extraneous information.

Today, the student and I worked on word problems in math and with fractions. He had a bit of trouble understanding how to reduce fractions and understanding how to divide larger numbers by smaller to obtain the fraction of something left. He is doing much better on his times tables and seems to have them memorized! We did adding and subtracting of money, which he does well with, but sometimes gets confused about decimals if one number has change and the other does not. Next time, we will work on fractions and division.

Today I went over how the girls can self grade their tests in order to learn the most from their mistakes. We went through the answers they got wrong on the test I gave them, point by point, so they could become familiar with common wrong answer traps and, how to avoid them. I realized that a lot of the questions that the girls were missing on the reading comprehension were purpose questions so, I'm going to bring some practice problems for that next time. I am also going to bring a couple of the prose reading comprehension passages because, the girls were having trouble with those. Every time I have a session with the girls I see a lot of good things. Their improvement has been awesome!
