I was in the tutoring center today when I stumbled across Scholastic's website. Scholastic is conducting a global literacy campaign and their materials look like a fantastic tool to use in a tutoring session. I really enjoyed their Bill of Rights, which focuses on the belief that all children have the right to read and understand. This would be a great list to look through with your learner. You could discuss and write about how they feel about it and what they can do to help make reading accessible to everyone.
Also on the website was a link to You Are What You Read. On this site, you can make a profile (your Bookprint) and share five books that have had an effect on your life. You could use this yourself as well as with your learner. Share your books with your learner and then help them post their books.
Overall, I really enjoyed searching through the Scholastic website. It has games, lesson ideas, writing tips, and much more. Poke around on the site and find what works best for you and your learner!
