On Saturday morning, February 21, I tutored PJ. We had a small worksheet that he was able to do really quickly. He was to choose one word for two different sentences- where the word he chose would be used differently in each sentence. He completed it really quickly; there was one or two he couldn't get at first, but I have noticed over the past month or two he has become a lot better at correcting his own errors.
After that, we had a big book of short superhero stories. I asked him what his favorite superhero was, and it is by far Spiderman. I got him interested by watching about five minutes of The Amazing Spiderman. He was so intrigued, and by the time we got to the story he was genuinely excited. I had never seen him more excited to read since I started tutoring him. We read a couple of the short Spiderman stories and he was enthralled. He was able to relate some of it back to the Spiderman movies he had seen as well, which really helped.
Overall, I think that this was by far the most success I had had with reading materials.
