I forgot to mention that I am tutoring my little sister-in-law two times a week now. I pick her up on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:00 for two hours. This week was a little off because she had a lot of homework from school and her mom wants me to do her homework with her before I begin regular tutoring. Tuesday I spent 3 hours with her trying to get her homework done which left me no time to work on the things that I wanted to work with her on. I know that she needs a lot more practice with her handwriting and reading. On Thursday I got to work with her for about an hour on her handwriting and reading, and it was a pretty good time. She has trouble pronouncing anything that has an “r” in it. She knows that she has the problem so she is working with me to try to correct it. This was my first week of tutoring her, and I really hope that she will learn a lot from me and that I can help her do better in school. She really needs someone to help her, and I am glad that someone is me!
