You created a supportive environment by validating Scarlet's opinions and insights throughout the session. When she shared predictions about characters becoming allies, you responded positively with "that's a good prediction" and built upon her ideas. You avoided dismissing any of her interpretations of the text, which helped maintain her engagement and confidence. To reach the advanced level, look for more opportunities to highlight specific strengths in her literary analysis or connect her insights to broader reading skills that will help her in other contexts.
You excelled at creating a welcoming atmosphere from the start of the session. You greeted Scarlet by name, checked that she could hear you, and maintained a conversational tone throughout. The discussion felt like a friendly book club rather than a formal lesson, which encouraged open sharing of opinions. You referred to Scarlet by name multiple times and showed genuine interest in her personal connections to the book, like when discussing parental expectations. This comfortable environment clearly helped Scarlet feel at ease sharing detailed thoughts about the book and making connections to her own life
