I believe that creating a friendly and exciting learning atmosphere is crucial. At the beginning of the first lesson, I talk to my student and try to learn as much as I can about their interests, favorite books, colors, sports, food, etc. I talk to my student about my system of awards (fancy stickers, paper clips, beads, etc.) and show them some of the awards that they can earn, if they do well in class and home. Only after that, when the student is relaxed and excited about winning the awards, do I conduct brief testing to determine the student's reading and writing level. Most students do not realize that they are being tested because all they are asked to do is read a couple of paragraphs and write a couple of sentences. After that we are ready to launch on an exciting learning journey!
