Hi! I just started tutoring a Korean 2nd grader on how to write and read some words that she will need to use later on. She lives in my neighborhood, and she and her kindergarten and 2 year old younger sisters all look up to me. She says that she really likes to learn from me, but I do not know how to help her improve on reading and writing. Any tips?

BTW, should I do 30 minutes or 1 hour to teach her? I get $5 for 30 minutes, and $10 for 1 hour.

~ With luv, Wraya <3

Sorry, this is a few days late :)

That is actually so cool, Wraya! What an amazing oppertunity! This must be very exciting for you.

You can always try checking out the "I Can Read" books ("Biscuit" the dog was my favorite when I was first begining to read!) or picture books with very minimal writing such as "Spot" (Another little dog I loved!) from your local library. This would be great for learning how to read, and books like "Spot" sometimes have little flaps and popouts, so that is pretty entertaining!

You can always print out simple writing exercises and have her do those. Make sure to help her out and guide her through, though.

It is very important that you are patient with her. I can't even imagine having to re-learn english, let alone another language (even though I take Spanish- it is an absolute PAIN lol)! You may have to repeat things several times over, and you have to be careful not to discourage her. I'm sure you will do fantastic, though!

Consider having a rewards system. It could be as simple as a little star sticker (what I wouldn't do for one of those when I was a kid!) or a piece of candy. You could have a small daily reward, and have a bigger reward (like a popsicle- and they are affordable!) at the end of a certain time period.

Depending on what time interval you choose, make sure you tak the appropriate breaks. For 30 minutes, not so much, but for an hour long, you should take a ten minute break halfway through.

Wraya, you are going to do so amazing, I just know it! Let me know how things go, yeah? Hope this helps, and best of luck! :)

WOW. This is amazing info. tysm! Yeah, I heard that learning Spanish sucks. Spanish is a hard language(in my opinion). I'll let you know how things go, don't worry.

Hehehe I'm in sort of that same situation.( Are you teaching her Korean or English ?)

Where I'm at is I'm Trying to to teach my Sis to read -----She doesn't want to learn to read.          

      Maybe read with her and help her sound out words if she needs it.

And practice makes perfect for writing .

Sorry I can't be much help ...

I am Korean but don’t know to write,but I can help you. You can have a guide sheet to assist you and even do a bit of research.Make sure she understands everything.Ask her time to time if she needs any help.

Also with lots of love
