When I was in high school, a favorite teacher told me about a website where you could create your own "bookself" of all the books you have read. Of course, I immediatly created one, and I've been using the site ever since.
Shelfari lets you create your own shelf and then update books as you read. I think this would be a great way to incorporate technology into your tutoring sessions. I'm always telling tutors to keep track of the books read in their sessions, but this would be a way to allow your learner to update every book!
So here's my idea: introduce Shelfari to your learner as a fun way to keep track of what they're reading. Make your own page as an example. Encourage your learner to read at home and then share their page at every session. Once a certain number of books have been read, offer prizes.
There are far simpler ways to do this, like book charts and stickers. However, if you have a learner who is interested in technology, you can't go wrong asking them to create their own page online.
