Daniel Bell TS#13


Date/Time: February 27th, 5PM

Location: Elia’s House

Topic/Skill: Reading

Feedback provided to tutee: Today, I prepared a short story about Mardi Gras to help with Elia’s reading comprehension. Considering that Ash Wednesday is this Wednesday, along with the cultural lesson of Mardi Gras, I figured it was apt. To test comprehension, I brought a set of question from the source I took the story, along with a list of vocabulary.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned that I, once again, misjudged Elia’s reading level. The story I selected was a smidge too difficult, and we barely got through it. Again, he could read the words, but struggled with comprehending the meaning. I tried to used online pictures as best I could to show scenes of the Mardi Gras parade, but it was little use. Next time, I will be even more conscious of this.
