Wowee, I had no idea it's been so long since my last post. I knew that I wasn't posting, but that's because I've been busy posting a lot in other places, or just reading and learning throughout the summer. I've been having a fine time. And, I'll admit to not tutoring during the summer months. I'm afraid to say I got used to having Monday evenings to myself.
In any case, October came and I had every intention of getting down to Cliveden to see my Girls, but I had a long cold virus and then we went to Vermont & Canada over Columbus Day weekend, which was excellent. So, I finally got back to tutoring last monday night.
And I have a new student. He's seven years old (just days older than the girls), loves math (typically he'd rather be in math than in reading!) and is having trouble sounding out words. Clyde actually worked with him for the last few weeks, because he was showing up on Wednesday nights. Anyway, I was a little flummoxed because now I find that the Twins had tutoring throughout the summer and have advanced exponentially. They aren't fabulous readers, but they are way better than they were. M particularly.
So what did I do?
I played hang-man with them. ;-)
Over the weekend I need to dig out my book of word family activities, games, etc because I can't find it and I think it's going to come in handy.
