Stay Positive: Idea #85

In order to motivate your student to learn to read, make sure you stay positive. Focus on the things that they are doing well. Before telling them things they can work on, make sure you are saying the good things they are doing. Everyone tends to perform better when given compliments. Even if you can only think of one thing they are doing well, it can really help them improve and give them that little encouragement to keep going. Every lesson you give, try to find a little thing your student is doing well. This will not only make your lessons more enjoyable, but will make your student pleased with how they are progressing.
