Worksheets are effective assessments, but only when they are used sparingly. The majority of worksheets are formatted the same way, where your answers are confined to tiny blanks or bubbles.

The abundance of worksheets seemed to be caused by the teacher being absent, but when she returned, the endless amounts did not decrease. What may have been fun, partner work at the

To begin our tutoring sessions, I used two different activities to become better acquainted with Miracle. These not only helped me to get to know Miracle, but it also gave her a chance to get to know me. My goal of these activities was to understand her likes and dislikes.
