Before each session:
- Pick up your student’s box.
- Review previous tutor notes and the Roadmap.
- Pick up the lesson packet your student is working on today.
- Read through the materials inside the lesson packet to familiarize yourself with the skills you will teach today.

- Review vocabulary & add 1-2 new words
- Word analysis
- Essential words
