It was nice to see Francis today in class. She did very well reading the story today. This book was more at her level and I think she felt more confident to read and participate fully. We did several phonics activities after reading the story and Francis worked on reading words with the 'tr' and 'br' blends at the beginning. 

Excellent work from Francis today. We started using stars and rabbit pictures as motivation and this worked very well. Francis earned 5 stars today! Awesome!
