Look Inside My Tutoring Binder

I reorganized my office last week… While doing so, I found my tutoring binder inside my tutoring bag from last year.  (This is a judgement-free zone, right?!)   

I spent a lot of time and effort preparing for tutoring, so I thought I would share my binder with you to make your tutoring life a little easier.  

My tutoring binder is divided into four sections: writing, fluency activities, fluency passages, and comprehension. Under each picture, you will find links to products, most of which are FREE!    

Keep in mind that we also worked on homework and any specific skills that the child needed each week, but the binder was full of resources and back-up activities to help fill time.
