There are different ways that I collected data to study my research question:

One:

This is one of many activities that I did with my tutee. It is hands- on sight word learning. We would play a game out of this. I would put them on the ground and we would play bean- bag toss. To get points, you will have to say the sight word and if it is correct, she will get a point and vice versa. While doing this activity every week, I saw how much she was learning in such a short amount of time.

Two:

First attempt at reading comprehension with drawing and acting! My tutee was able to tell me what happened in our story of the week by drawing my a picture after we acted out the story! It improved her retention and she was able to relay what happened onto paper.

Three:

This is one of the ways I was able to test my tutee on her letter development. I used this as a formative and summative assessment.

Four:

My tutee hated reading! Well, on this day I introduced her to reading via vooks.com and it changed her entire reading experience. This became her favorite part of our time together. She ended up loving to read.

Five:

We always had fun telling stories, but they never got that far. I finally asked my tutee to act out a story and I wrote it down for her. Then, she was able to draw what she acted out for me. Kinesthetic learning and movement can do wonders!
