Format of Lessons
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 1:49 pm
I have been following the very useful advice offered by everyone on this forum for many months, particularly Patricia's.
I have opted for home tuition, so this help is invaluable, and have encouraged my son to read out loudly daily (which his school encourage anyway) and the other tips on expanding his vocab. This is certainly his weakness.
I purchased the IPS books Patricia has recommended and run through the types of qs and the quick practice sessions on these. I haven't started the practice papers yet.
MY QUESTIONS now are, can anyone give me some advice on
i) how often to give lessons, and how long they should be
ii) more importantly how to STRUCTURE them - tips from tutors would be appreciated!
iii) should I set 'homework' for my son to do during the week?
thank you
PS My son will hopefully sit the 2007 BUCKS exam, undecided about the BERKS yet.
