On Friday I had met with Youngseo. We went over her spelling words, like we often do for her quizzes on Thursday. Her mom told me that last week she got a 100 on her quiz which made me really happy! She was able to spell almost all of the words correctly but she had a little confusion with vet and van. I could tell that her teacher had explained these words to her before because when I asked her what a vet was she said “it’s bigger than a car”. I was confused and then realized that van was also on her list. We spent a lot of time going over the difference between these two, because I didn’t want her to get confused on her quiz.
After her spelling words, we did some writing and speaking. We used the die that I have with a different word on every side. She really likes the die because it’s fun for her to throw it or sometimes make me pick a word. She wrote down some sentence with these words and then I had her just speak them to me because it sometimes takes a while for her to write, even though she’s pretty good at it.
After this, we did a little reading and then reviewed her spelling words again, especially vet and van. Her family is so sweet and got me a thank you card for tutoring her. I have really enjoyed working with Youngseo. Even though this is the last time that I have to do it for TEFL, I have already arranged with her parents to keep tutoring her for the rest of the semester. She is so cute and really smart. I am excited to keep working with her!
