Session Details: Reading group tutoring sessions are a two-part service that includes an asynchronous reading & discussion prep session (detailed below) and followed by an individual synchronous live-session reading group discussion (detailed below).
STEP 1: Asynchronous Planning & Drafting Session
(Approximately 30 Minutes)
This session is completed independently by both the tutor (Me!) and the student (You!) where I ask that you share the specific reading assignment (i.e. novel title & pages assigned), active reading requirements, complementary formative assignments, and any related materials (including shareable class resources, unit summative, examples of previous annotations & notes) are shared prior to a live tutoring session. I will then review the shared materials, the reading requirements, and actively read the novel before we meet for a live session. This allows for a personalized tutoring curriculum that meets the individual needs of the student by allowing the tutor to develop a differentiated approach to the reading that is tailored specifically for you!
STEP 2: Synchronous Live-Session Assignment Workshop
(Approximately 60 Minutes)
This is where the growth happens! We'll spend an hour together in a guided-discussion setting as we work together in creating a collective understanding of the reading through the following dual-purpose focus:
Goal A - We'll work together to analyze and discuss literature-specific content based on the active reading and discussion prep from the Asynchronous session.
Goal B - We'll cover strategies to help improve the overall development of student-specific discussion skills and active reading comprehension.
