Dana TS#2

     I met with Abrar today for an hour.  We worked on reading comprehension and pronunciation.  We read several paragraphs from an article about eating insects.  This is known as entomophagy
She is studying for the IELTS exam.  I encouraged her to look carefully at all the letters in the word in order to get the proper pronunciation.  She is not a careful reader.  She will see a word and mistakenly say another word that is close in pronunciation and spelling.  I made her look through all the letters in the words that were beautiful mistakes before pronouncing the word.  She always gets it right when she looks carefully at the word and thinks about pronunciation.   
     I told her to browse quickly through the questions before she begins reading the article to try to get clues what the questions will be about.  If there is an option to take the test in paper-based format, i.e. paper booklet I would recommend that because in reading comprehension it will be easier to scan the article when answering questions.
