Dear Ryan's parents,

For today's lesson, Ryan worked very hard and he followed my instructions with a high degree of accuracy and engagement. Ryan's listening skills are significantly improving as is his vocabulary knowledge. He is beginning to orally express himself with growing English language knowledge, vocabulary, and sentence structures. Keep up your good, hard work, Ryan.

I would highly recommend that Ryan reads English language stories at home ('I Survived') and at school (using the school library to borrow books to read in class). This will significantly increase and improve his reading skills, exponentially. This will also, very importantly, help Ryan best prepare for the higher level reading he'll encounter in high school. Thank you.

For today's lesson, we focused on Ryan's test-taking skills, with Lesson 19 - Nov 13 - Homework - Weekly Test (G2U4W5).

We covered the following test-taking skills:

1) Reread the text for story comprehension

2) Use his Translator for story comprehension (understand ALL the vocabulary)

3) Use his Translator for test question comprehension (understand ALL the vocabulary)

4) Spelling Accuracy: use words from the text to improve spelling accuracy

5) Writing full, complete sentences, and using punctuation accurately
