BulletWhat outside resources might help?
 
 
Once you know your student’s interests, look for a variety of resource materials that promote reading for information AND pleasure. Try collecting CD covers, flyers for musical groups, photographs with text, or short newspaper items. If your student reads magazines, or might like a particular one, you can find a copy, read it, bring it to the session, read an article together, and give the student the magazine.

If you’re tutoring a student in a particular subject, various sources will help her understand the topic, from National Geographic to Web sites on the Internet. Linking new knowledge to a familiar idea helps a student understand and integrate reading content.
