EVALUATION/REFLECTION FROM LAST LESSON [What did you learn from last
weeks session? Provide details and examples. How is what you learned informing your
planning for this week? What did you learn about yourself as a teacher?]
Last weeks session went really well. I learned that I need to focus more and fluency and
comprehension for the sake of Josue in school. His goal in school is to read 200 words per
minute, so he and I will work on that for the remainder of the tutoring. This week I will time him
twice and use these stories repeatedly to assess him improvement. I learned that I can use many
of different items for fluency and comprehension.
