Phonics has to do with being able to look at the letters of a word, figure out what sounds those letters make, and putting the sounds together to read the word.
Spelling is similar to phonics except that instead of reading, you are writing.
English is a tricky language – there are a lot of exceptions to rules.
PHONICS/SPELLING
Handbook, pp. 28-52
![Page 8: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DECODING
English has many irregular words. Consider these two:Ate and Eight
However there are many word patterns you can teach. Here are a few:
Spelling Rules. Late: the /e/ makes the /a/ say it’s name
Word Families. –ight words, -ate words (late, fate, crate), -ad words (mad, bad, had)
Note: Don’t spend too much time on decoding. Be sure to help with comprehension, vocabulary and fluency.

Children should be able to read sight words and high frequency words within 3 seconds.
Sight words are words that don’t follow phonics rules and children need to memorize them. Example: one, of, was
High Frequency words do follow phonics patterns, but occur so often that it would slow children down if they had to decode them every time. Example: and, the, that, what
50% of all text is made up of the most common 100 high frequency words.

Understanding what you read.
There are many levels of comprehension. Literal—the facts in a text Inferential—predictions or other information that builds on
the facts Critical/evaluative—judgments based on the text Appreciative—reader’s response to the text

Understanding what words mean.
Comprehension breaks down when there are too many words that you don’t know.
Vocabulary instruction is made up of: teaching words that appear in many contexts. teaching prefixes, suffi xes, root words. teaching context clues.

Fluency is made up of 3 components: Speed Accuracy Expression
Many children who struggle with fluency also struggle with comprehension.

Lesson plans are important for successful tutoring.
Create a simple plan for each session and keep those plans to track progress.
Make notes on your lesson plan during the tutoring session. That helps in creating the next lesson.

PICKING & INTRODUCING
BOOKS
![Page 28: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
You can use any type of text to tutor from; however, if you get a chance to read for enjoyment, pick a good book (one that your student picks) that is not too diffi cult and enjoy reading for pleasure. Together with the student, you can choose reading material that interests the student and is at an appropriate reading level. One method for choosing a book is the fi ve fi nger method.RememberWhenever possible, pick books that are interesting to
the learnerFor tutoring, pick books are that at their Instructional
Level (not too easy, not too hard)For independent (personal) reading, pick books at the
Independent Level.
PICKING TEXTS TO READ
![Page 29: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“Just right” book but when time is short use these strategies for finding a book that isn’t too challenging:Ballpark it! Working with a struggling 3 rd grader?
Pick a book that looks like a 1 st or 2nd grader could read it.
Don’t worry. Just read it! Don’t worry if it is a “just right” book. Read aloud and talk with the child.
Five Finger Rule. A quick and simple way to match a book to a kid.
PICKING BOOKS AT THE RIGHT LEVEL
![Page 30: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
As you or the child reads a page from a book, have them put a finger on any words they don't understand. The number of fingers used helps indicate the reading level. 0-1 fingers - too easy (Independent level) 2-3 fingers - just right (Instructional level) 4-5 fingers - too hard (Frustration level)
Too easy is okay. Too hard isn’t. Remember that this is just a “quick & dirty” test.
FIVE FINGER RULE
Handbook, p. 14
![Page 31: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tutors guide students through a book by looking at the cover, title page, and pictures in the book. Point out a few key words and ask the learner questions like, “What do you think is going on in the book?” and “What do you think will happen?” During the guided reading and learning session (the heart of the tutoring process), the tutor can check with the learner to confirm predictions.
BOOK WALKS & PICTURE TALKS
![Page 32: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Start with the cover. Look at the picture Read the title and author Ask, “what do you think this book is about?”
Take a picture walk. Without reading the words ask the child to turn the pages
one at a time. Point to the pictures and ask, “What do you think is
happening?” Use the 5 “W” and “H” questions
BASICS OF THE BOOK WALK, PICTURE TALK
![Page 33: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Take a picture walk. Use the 5 “W” and “H” questions
What is happening on this page? Where do you think they are going? How do you think it will end? Will they get to the house?
Repeat what the child said but in your own words Add a bit more information

If you have a book available, do a quick book walk or picture talk with a partner.
Talk about picturesMake predictions Point out the title and a few words you think are
important to the story
IF TIME ALLOWS…TRY A BOOK WALK

These are short, focused lessons on specific topics. This is where the “teaching” occurs during the tutoring session and should be planned by you to meet your learners’ individual needs.
The mini-lesson can occur before or after the instructional reading section of the tutoring session.
All of the tutoring strategies in your handbook can be used as mini-lesson ideas.

Tutoring is hard work. We try to keep the child engaged but most of the time it requires a lot of repetition. We are not babysitting!
Do:guide the learner in reading.ask, “Does that make sense?”encourage rereading.
Don’t:correct every mistake.get frustrated.
DO’S AND DON'TS OF TUTORING
![Page 37: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
You’ve just begun tutoring a new learner, Sam, a third-grader. You observe the following:◦ Sam is very shy and doesn’t seem very comfortable reading
out loud.◦ Sam struggles reading the book he has brought to the
tutoring session. He tells you this is a book that he is reading for school.
◦ As he reads, you notice he has trouble decoding (sounding out) words he doesn’t know.
What can you do?
TUTORING SCENARIO #1
![Page 38: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
You’ve been working with Latoya, a 4 th grade learner, for several weeks. You observe the following: Latoya reads slowly, one word at a time. She struggles with words such as time, brother, some,
many, friends, house.
What can you do?
TUTORING SCENARIO #2
![Page 39: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Marc, a 4 th grade learner, reads quickly and says most of the words correctly. However, you notice that:◦ Mark doesn’t seem to understand much of what he reads.
He doesn’t “get it.”◦ Mark also does not understand many grade level vocabulary
in science and social studies.
Create a Lesson Plan to address these issues.
TUTORING SCENARIO #3
![Page 40: A ReadWriteServe Program of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte AMERICA READS AT UNC CHARLOTTE TUTOR TRAINING.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed15503460f94be00fd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
GO-TO STRATEGIES: USE THESE OFTEN
Comprehension: use Say Something plus KWL or Stickies
Vocabulary: Vocab CardsSight Words: Flash cards (practice
each time you meet)Fluency: Repeated readings and timed
readings (same thing)Decoding: Word families, a few
spelling rules (magic E, vowel blends)
