session about your tutee? Provide details and examples. How will what you learned from last session inform your planning for this session? What did you learn about yourself as a teacher? Last session with Danya went really well. For writing we started to write a rough draft of her narrative of her flat Stellas adventures. I am having her write this in her journal and not on the iPad to save time. For this lesson I am going to have her read over her narrative and fix errors and add anything that she might want to. We might also start the final draft if tim e allows. I plan on printing out all

the pi tures of her flat Stellas adventures for her to !eep along with all her writings. "uided reading went well# we made it half way through the story. $y stopping and as!ing the %uestions during the reading# I found that it helped with her understanding. &his story she seemed to 'e reading faster and not paying attention as mu h# so the extra %uestions I 'elieve helped with understanding. For the fluen y portion# Danya read over some previous texts to improve her fluen y. For this lesson I am going to have Danya start with the level ( texts and silent read one and read it over again out loud. I am urious to see if the omprehension is the same 'oth times and how it affe ts her fluen y.

She an write and !nows what she wants to say. &he 2SI showed that she is late within affixes and prefixes# so her spelling of words within the sample showed this trend. &his goal will help her 'uild her sense of writing and onne t it to real situations to 'etter onvey ideas and information. It will also help with word study and 'uild her sense of (th grade vo a'ulary words. 3aving Danya 'e omforta'le with reading is important to help 'uild her onfiden e in her a'ility to read. Danya mentioned during the reading attitude survey that she does not enjoy reading aloud. Providing more han es for her to read aloud will hange this for her. 3aving a text that is at her reading level to read aloud will help to get her to 'e omforta'le reading aloud grade level materials.
