I learned how important it is to log progress. To
prepare Annie for the vocabulary section of her 100 questions civic test, ill
her to practice writing. This is to make her feel more confident with her
ability. When she takes her naturalization test, she will be asked to write out
sentences that contains words that are used from her vocabulary list. This
section of the test will require her to accurately write out the words she
hears. During our sessions, I would first read aloud sentences that contained the
words from the vocabulary list. I used internet sources that gave me a list
with sentences to choose from. Although this worked out well, I later
learned that I didn't keep track of our progress. I seen the outcome of this
when I started to get overwhelmed. I knew we were using the vocabulary from the
list but I wasn't keeping track. Sentence usage was everywhere. Karen helped
get me through my concerns. She gave me a vocabulary log, which was just a list
of the vocabulary words with a space next to each word where you could log the
date. When we covered a new word, next to it, I would log the date. This has
been so helpful!
