TP #1 Jordan

Husain and I met at the sweet shop to work on reading. Mostly all of our tutoring session shave been about reading for the main idea and accuracy. This is Husain's most underdeveloped skill. During this session I brought a book from the library about politics. We practiced by reading a page at a time in under 5 minutes. Reading with a time limit focused on distinguishing important facts from superfluous fillers. Husain had trouble at first with this activity due to the time limit. I explained that don't worry abut the time limit and read what you feel is important. The importance of a passage is in the supporting details and the topic sentence. These are aspects that we had reviewed previously. We worked on the this skill more in later meetings.
