So I help this first grader who doesn't speak English very well (he's Korean)to learn how to read/speak English better. His mom picks out 4-5 short books and gives me a notebook and a pen, and I basically just go to a seperate room with the kid and read to him and write down any words he doesn't understand. Sometimes I try to make him read out loud, as well. Problem? He seems to really hate these "classes" if you can call it that. He always asks me why he has to do this, and tells me he just wants to play instead. He's very uncooperative, and refuses to listen to me and just goes and does his own thing. I don't know what to do! If I tell his mom, she'll think I'm not helping him and ask me not to come anymore, and the money is quite good so I don't want to lose the job! Does anyone know any ways to make the classes more fun and stuff and make him enjoy them more... or at least dread them a little less?
