Writing and Word Study Strategies
Personal Dictionaries: Students are encouraged to keep a record of words they are unfamiliar with. Students use the personal dictionary to add the newly discovered word, its' meaning, a sentence using the new vocabulary, and a way of remembering its' definition.
The Writing Process: The writing process was conducted from the beginning. This allowed Jazmin and Bryanna to review what they already knew and acquire new information about how the writing process worked. However, due to absences we never got to the publishing stage. The tutees were also given a transitional words handout to spice up their writing.
Other strategies such as word sorts, idea webs, and others were used throughout the tutoring sessions.
