Tutors soon find it hard to think of new ways to praise the tutee. This little book makes it easy. It has many ideas about words of praise to use. So if you get stuck for what to write, just read the dictionary together, until you find the words that seem right for the day. If the 'helper&' has trouble choosing, ask the &';reader' for ideas of what would be right.
