Daniel Bell TS#11


Date/Time: February 20th, 5PM

Location: Elia’s House

Topic/Skill: Vocabulary and Syllables

Feedback provided to tutee: Used the Swahili-English language dictionary I bought to explain the concept of syllables to Elia. In the previous reading assignment, I noticed that Elia sometimes has difficulty reading longer words (three syllables or more). From the dictionary, I picked several three-syllable words which all had to do with food in order to demonstrate how understanding syllables can be immensely helpful in reading.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned that it is important to build momentum with your lessons. This lesson was a detour that I felt we had to make, but otherwise it is important for overall coherency, as well as the student’s experience, if you remain consistent.
