Tutoring Logistics• Make sure school personnel is with you at all times • Schools are mandatory reporters of any suspected
child abuse– Including verbal and instances of neglect
• If you get the sense that something is just not right, tell someone!
• Don’t take any photos • Sessions are not bloggable! • Communicate!!!

Strategies for Working with Kids
![Page 13: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Building a Relationship
Be Prepared:
• When possible, meet the teacher – Find out what help/support is needed– Ask for tips on materials
• Have a plan– Bring paper, writing utensils, markers, and other
art supplies just in case
![Page 14: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Building a Relationship1st Meeting(s):
• Break the ice– Ask about school, hobbies, special interests – Encourage the student to ask questions about you– Ask the student to bring something to share to your next session
(pictures of family, object that tells about him/her, etc.)
• Let the student know you are there as a helper and not a teacher
• Plan for the student to be successful – Have the student reread a favorite book; play a math game with dice
and let the student choose the operation (i.e., x, +, ÷, √, -); have student dictate a story to you as you write it
![Page 15: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Maintaining Relationships • Invite and accept opinions• Avoid judgmental words (e.g., always, never,
should) • When working with young children, talk with them
and not at them • Avoid overusing slang• Don’t personalize comments• Respect privacy and confidentiality within legal
limits
![Page 16: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Managing Behavior• Get the student’s attention before giving directions.
• Keep directions simple.
• Ask the student to repeat directions to ensure understanding.
• Stay on topic. – “I want to hear what you have to say, but right now we’re going
to finish _______ game.”
• Take breaks when you notice the student becoming restless.

Break

Managing Behavior Continued
• Catch them being good or doing well – praise, praise, praise!
• Let the student know exactly what you expect him/her to do– You can create a checklist
• Make concrete incentives for doing work. – “When you finish X, we will…”
• Give points to the student when he/she follows your explicit expectations, and let them know the reason for the point given– “I like the way you did X. I am going to give you a point.”
• If the student’s behavior is counterproductive, move on…
![Page 19: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Keeping Learners Motivated• Ask the student what they would like help doing.
• Create games – Flashcards, beat your time (words per minute; # correct items per minute), rhyming, stump the
tutor
• Give the student some choices (e.g., materials, books, what problem to do)• Make the session interactive.
– Ask open ended questions. – Make personal connections.
• Refer to your experiences, and ask the student about their past experiences: “Has anything like this ever happened to you?”; “How would you feel?”
• Avoid communication roadblocks.– Limit directing, moralizing, and lecturing. Instead, ask questions, provide feedback, model how you
would approach the task.
• Avoid interrupting and critiquing
• Encourage the student to evaluate his/her own work by asking what they did well.
![Page 20: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Tutoring Session
• When possible, ask the teacher how they provide feedback (e.g., missed items, reading errors, etc.).
• Check the teacher’s website
• Come prepared in case you can’t meet with the teacher– Bring books (Jones, Swem, the schools media center)
• Let the student choose a book to read
– Talk to other tutors
• Get group consensus about homework assignments
![Page 21: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Guiding the Tutoring Session
• Ask students to explain their work.
• Resist the urge to give the right answer.
• Be descriptive with your praise so the student knows what he/she is doing well.
• Ask questions to further student thinking – “What would happen if…” “What do you think will happen
next?” “What will this be about?”
![Page 22: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Responding to Your Student
• “I don’t get it.”
• “I can’t.”
• “I don’t know.”
• “Let’s look at it together.”
• Tell me what you are thinking.”
• “Think about what you know about this problem/word. What have you done like this before?”
![Page 23: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Intonation patterns are tied to how we interpret the emotions of others
• What tones of voice make students sound polite, respectful, and curious?
• What about withdrawn or bored? Or disrespectful, non-compliant, and angry?
• Could there be mismatches between the tones that some educators expect and those that some students use?
Cultural Differences: Intonation as a model
![Page 24: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cultural Differences: Intonation as a model
• African-American males might have less melodic variation in their voices, in contrast to white females
• Other frequently misunderstood student behaviors include not making eye contact, shrugging one’s shoulders; such differences are often culturally mediated
• When behaviors co-occur, teachers’ and tutors misimpressions may be intensified
![Page 25: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
When the Student Has Difficulty Reading
• Ask the student to reread.
• If stuck on a word, remind the student to say the sounds:– “What are the sounds?” “What sound does c make?”
– Model sounding out the word• Cat
– Point to the c and say /c/
– Point to the a and say /a/
– Point to the t and say /t/
– Point to the c and blend by scooping your finger from left to right as you say /caaat/
– Then say, “Watch as I read the whole word,” and point to the c while quickly sweeping your finger under the word and say cat.
• Help students connect unfamiliar word/terms to the context. – The boy played the ukulele. “A ukulele is like a guitar.”
• Don’t let a student get frustrated. Know when to help and move on.
• Write down words the student struggles with and revisit them later.
![Page 26: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The key to remember that language differences are systematic differences, they are not
random errors
![Page 27: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Phonological Feature: Consonant Cluster Reduction
• When clusters of consonant sounds -- like SK, ND, TS, KT, STS, SKS, etc. -- sound like single sounds
• Most speakers do this to an extent: “Bring me your tests” sounds like “Bring me your tess,” “Fact check” sounds like “Fack check”
• For some English speakers, this same process can apply to a wider range of consonant clusters: test as tess, desk as dess, walked as walk, find as fine, hand as han, cold as code, west end as wes end, etc.
• Reduction also occurs with plural, possessive, and third person singular s (cents, Anne’s, walks) and past tense (walked)
![Page 28: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Consonant Cluster Reduction: Implications for Students
• Students with this feature may write “w-a-l-k” for walked and walk, “f-i-n-e” for fine and find, etc.
• Students with this feature may have reading difficulty: In sentences like Last month I read the sign, the past tense form of read is easy to interpret. But students who pronounce “passed” like “pass” may have great difficulty with When I passed by, I read the sign.
• Speakers may need to pay special attention to past and present tense pronunciations
![Page 29: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Phonological Feature: Vowel Mergers
• Words like feel and fill, heel and hill, wheel and will may be pronounced (and therefore also may be written) the same• Fail-fell, hail-hell, bail-bell• Since-sense, wince-whence, eminent-imminent• Sell-sale, pell-pale, hell-hail
![Page 30: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Vowel Mergers: Implications for Students
• Students who have vowel mergers thus may have trouble with spelling -- for example, repeal may be spelled repill; travail as travel or travell -- and with closely-pronounced pairs that are spelled differently (e.g., eminent-imminent) may be particularly difficult
• They may also show language-influenced variation in rhyming: pairs like field and filled, etc.
• Features can co-occur: words like sinned and send are said and spelled the same way
![Page 31: College Partnership for Kids CPK. Agenda Introductions Logistics The tutoring session as a social, cultural, and educational experience for both you and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e185503460f94b04489/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ending on a Positive Note
• Encourage the student to talk about what went well
• Identify what you think went well in the session– The student’s strengths– How the student improved
• Help the student set goals for future sessions
