Adult literacy tutoring

Today was my second day as a literacy tutor, and it was so much better than the first. Well, I felt better about it today anyway. 

Last Saturday was difficult because I hadn't met my students yet and didn't know what to expect. I went into the session with all these ideas of lessons and practices we could do, but the ladies really weren't interested. Or, so I thought. I left the library very unsure of myself and my abilities to help my students. 

Today was much different. Only one lady came today and we got a lot done. She told me that I was doing a good job. We were  able to talk a lot, which is what she wants to be able to do.

We've started a list of new words. When we come across an unfamiliar word in the lesson, we just add it to the list. I'm feeling a lot better about this.
