“How do you see their mistakes when you’re tutoring virtually?” Great question!
Today’s virtual dictation focused on the C-le syllable using IMSE Lesson #69. I use my lesson plan to record the student’s spelling as they work. I say the word, they repeat it, tap the sounds, and spell it aloud after writing it in their own book. Meanwhile, I’m recording their responses and noting any errors.
Today, we had words where the errors were chopped and puzzle. We talked through the mistakes, made corrections, and reviewed what to look for in these words.
Those notes help me plan what comes next. This skill will be revisited in our next lesson so we can reinforce it and build accuracy.
Virtual tutoring still allows for intentional instruction and meaningful data collection. It’s all about having a system to track what students know, identify errors, and use that information to guide instruction.
Teacher tested, Student approved!
