Fun Bob Books!

 These little books are great for teaching reading skills! I have a set of them that I put in order by letter of difficulty and I numbered them in order as the reading grew more complicated. This little girl that I have been tutoring for almost a year has enjoyed learning to read with them. They have a lot of repetition in each book, so the child can become familiar with the word being repeated. A year ago she couldn't read at all, and today she read from one of the Bob Books, "And my home is a home for me!" 

Her mom was so proud of her.

Busy days!

 Hello everyone! I know it's been a long time since I've posted, but I want to start again! I have, in addition to tutoring, taken on a job as a pet sitter! On Monday this week I got done with pet sitting for a week and a half, two separate clients, two different cats. I had to come home and make sure I had prepared the three different tutoring lessons I had to teach that day - an 8-year-old, a 6-year-old, and a 3-year-old. Quite different lessons! But I was ready, and the lessons were successful. I'll go into detail about how I plan my lessons on another post. I hope you enjoy your day!

 Hello again! I just wanted to let you all know that I've recently gotten two more kids that I'm tutoring, one twice a week, once in reading and writing and once in math. The other new boy is three years old and I'm teaching him how to identify the letters of the alphabet and write his name. I now have four kids. One of the boys was at the skate park on his scooter and fell on his face, chipping his front teeth! He still told his mom that he wants to go to the skate park lol. Here he is holding the book he's reading.

Thoughtfulness

 Well, I was surprised this week when I was given this little plastic Pokemon character. You see, it was mine. I have a bag of them that I use for playing learning board games like "Say and Spell" or Bingo. Apparently this one had been left behind, unnoticed by me. So when I came to tutor the boy again, his mom showed it to me and told me how serious her son was about making sure I got it back. He called it "Miss Tia's figure." It just really touched my heart that he would care so much about such a little thing.
