Dianna TS #1

Yesterday, I met with my first Tutee, Luna. Luna is from Colombia and does not speak a lot of English. She is at the beginner level. For our session, we focused on reading. She brought some material from class that she needed help with. There were several pages to read and questions on reading comprehension. We looked at the questions first and then she read the passages out loud. She stopped when she had a question about the meaning of certain words; however, she did a good job overall of reading the text. After each section, she would go back and answer the questions that we did not find while reading. Though she had a little trouble, she was able to find all of the answers. I was surprised at the text that she had to read for class. I thought it was a little bit difficult for her level.
