There are several reasons why I choose to read this book to her. Firstly, the story is related to children’s world. Hill (2015) mentioned that building on the familiar which means making connections to children’s world acts as a driving vehicle for literacy development. She may help her parents to do chores at home and the illustrations of the little boy doing different housework in the book could arouse her similar memory.

My storytelling assignment was an eye opening experience into the vocabulary and imagination of my second grade student Lila. During rotations I asked Lila if she would like to tell me a story. I let her know that it could be any story, make believe or real, that she wanted to share with me. When asked if she wanted to draw a picture before or after her story, she chose the first option. She immediately started drawing a picture that had four fish in different colors and sizes and was explaining who the fish were as she was drawing. She stated “This is the mommy fish, this is the daddy fish, and this is the baby fish Lila, and this is Lila when she got bigger.” Then she began her story about a family of fish who went on an adventure, and

He’s never played it and I had a list of words that were in our book that we have been ready, Hunt For Sewer Gators. We had a lot of fun playing it together. After reviewing this, I would like to incorporate some type of game for reading and writing. Something he might like is using at a dice, I could create a poster and whatever number the dice lands on he will have to answer the question. For example, 1 could be what was your favorite part of the story and why? Another possible game he could like is Tic Tac Toe for reading comprehension, or a cube dice while reading. I think playing comprehension games will help him focus more and have fun while answering questions. He seems to be more of a hands on activity type of student. Also, today he said he only wants to read half of the book because the book is too long to read the whole thing. The book is only 80 pages, so I want to prove to him that we can read the entire book, but only if he really likes the

For my ten tutoring sessions I choose to do my cousin, Walker Hannaford. Walker is a five-year-old boy who is full of excitement. He means the world to me, so I want to do my best to prepare him for kindergarten. The first time I met with Walker I learned more about his interests. He loves sports, tractors, and being just like his dad. For the first lesson I did with him I read the story Thump, Quack, Moo: A Whacky Adventure by Doreen Cronin.

She really enjoyed this book and was excellent at retelling me what had happened in the pages we read over. After we finished with the Star Wars book I had her read the book she thought she knew every word to! She chose the book titled “A Tune Up For Toby” which was about a car that needed some work.

The smell of the salty sea air greeted Harry when he walked the deck of his ship. He watched the seagulls flying overhead with a small smile. He wore motley drawers tucked into his leather day boots. With his red hip sash tied around his waist, and his bandanna on his head he set to work. He had to keep the ship ruining by himself, due to being a one-man crew. With ease born from repeated routine, Harry climbed the rigging rope up the mast to check on the sails. Hades was a two-masted vessel, square-rigged on both masts.
