My second tutoring session with Ahmed was focused more on grammar than reading. He was having a lot of difficulty with relative pronouns; namely, when to use which ones. I have to admit I was a little blindsided. I had prepared reading materials for this tutoring session and researched ways to help teach reading (intensive, extensive, skimming, etc) but he was intent on getting this concept down. So, I’ll save the reading materials for another day. The problem is, I haven’t given much thought to relative pronouns myself. I had to read his notes, which were good but incomplete. I did the best I could to explain which are more commonly used for what, but I told him I’d bring material for relative pronouns next week.
