Tutoring Session #2 (Child): Reading 'Hatchet' with PJ
Tuesday 03/14/17 11:15am
For our second tutoring session PJ and I read the book 'Hatchet'. This was one of my favorites when I was a kid so it was fun to read it a bit of it again. PJ was near the end of the book and it has been probably 20 years since I read it so he gave me a brief synopsis to catch me up before we got started.
PJ then read the book aloud to me and I asked him comprehension questions along the way, about every page or so. Aside from correcting pronunciation of a few words here and there and to help define more obscure vocabulary words, PJ needed very little help with the text. PJ had a good grasp of what he was reading and seemed to really consider the experience of the boy in the book using his imagination to put himself in the boy's predicament. PJ was very impressed by my really bad drawing of a plane when I was explaining to him what a 'fuselage' was;I think he was just being nice. He's a good kid and I look forward to the rest of the tutoring sessions with him.
