May 22 and 23, I had an opportunity to see a 7 year old that I worked with a couple of years ago. He has really struggled in school. In my opinion, he is one of those kids who needed time for his body to develop before he could learn. He just was not ready to learn in a formal setting. He needed more time to play outside and develop. He will be 8 about the time school starts again. He is reading. When he read for me if he needed help with a word I gave it to him so he could continue reading. His confidence is growing and he is reading many small words. He spent a year coming to my house to learn and play, a year in kindergarden and a year in transitional first. Now he will go to first grade in the fall. It will be exciting to see how he does.
Children like this are why I tutor.
