Clases particulares de lectura individual: cómo encontrar libros que nos gusten (30 minutos)

This ongoing class will be one-on-one reading tutoring, using a novel or chapter book chosen by the learner.  The main purpose will be to find a book or books the student enjoys and is excited about reading, while working on any needed skills.  A few books I've read with my learners are:  "Percy Jackson:  The Lightning Thief," by Rick Riordan, "Jennifer Murdley's Toad" by Bruce Coville, "Smile," "Guts," and "Sisters" by Raina Telgemeier (Graphic series); and "Primer" by Jennifer Muro & Thomas Krajewski.  This is to give you an example, the possibilities are endless!  (And of course the books we pick will be books on the reader's level.  This means they will challenge but be enjoyable to the reader).  
Week 1: During the first session, we will read a short story and discuss the characters.  Then we will decide on a book to read together.
While reading the book, we will cover some or all of the following skills, depending on the reader's needs:
Week 2:  Setting
Week 3:  Characters
Week 4:  Plot
Week 5:  Event Sequences
