After one week of seeing my Tree Top kids, I have many areas I need to expand on! I have may things to do!
1- build up my library-always room for more books!:) All levels of reading, all interests...never know what a child will be interested in! ***Always accepting book donations:)  Would love more then one copy of books for book study:)
2- work on increasing my reading based interactive games for  home programming. I spent years making file folder games for my work in the schools, but they were given away mistakingly! I have to re-build my grab and go games. The up-side to that is I can make them specifically for my kids needs:)
3- book study outlines- I am planning on reading a book with each child I tutor. We will read and study it together. I am reading Charlottes Web and Hunger Games...and everything in between:)

QUESTION--- If a child has a hard time reading, is it fair to make them wait till they can read at a certain level before they read these popular books on their own? OR do you work with them so they can read what their friends are reading now? 
I think it motivates them to read more once they have read a great book,  or have a great book read to them. READ it with them. READ it to them. Give the characters a voice, a personality. Get your child excited about the book and where it is taking them:)
Can't wait to re-read the HUNGER GAMES:) LOTS OF WORK TO DO!

This has been a great summer for TREETOP LEARNING:)  Summer camps were busy! The kids who came had some laughs, got to meet some new friends and learned something new. 
I am getting ready for my Fall session.  I will update this blog shortly with sessions I plan on doing over the next few months!  I am booked for one on one and small group weekly sessions; however, I am planning on running some short sessions for those interested.  These sessions will focus mainly on the following skills: reading comprehension, auditory memory and writing output.  These are common areas of weakness for many students.  Keep posted for updates and dates soon!!!:)
