Karinna- TS #6 Imani

During my tutoring session with Imani today I had a difficult time grasping his attention. He seemed to be upset about something, so I attempted to comfort him by asking if anything was bothering. He kept reassuring me that everything was ok. I did not want to keep poking at the situation, so I let him deal with his emotional state independently. After about 15 minutes, he seemed to be in a better mood and was more mentally involved in the session. Per usual I started off by reviewing what we had learned the previous week. Imani has a hard time with the following letters, H, M, N and L. Im still working on different techniques to help him understand these letter. He seems to be a visual learner so I have started to include many visual in our sessions. For the list of "Dolch Words" we started to draw a simple picture of the word to help Imani understand what the word means. This technique has really been working and Imani seems to love it.
