Dear Brian's parents,

Brian had another engaged and focused lesson today (Apr.29th). Brian's reading fluency, vocabulary decoding success, and reading comprehension, are all progressing well with growing and improving proficiency. His sentence frames, when answering open-ended questions, are become more accurate. His independent use of English-Chinese translation strategies are developing well, also. Wonderful! Keep up your great English language learning progress Brian! We'll continue to work on refining Brian's accuracy with letter structures and aslo his vocabulary pronunciation, especially with blends such as 'th'. Thank you.

For today's lesson, we reviewed Brian's homework and the focus was on letter structure accuracy as well as working on Lesson 8, Task 1 - U2L8 - Apr 29 - 'Squirrels Help'.

We covered the following literacy concepts:

1) Pre-reading strategies (title, author, illustrator, and genre: fantasy)

2) Reading strategies (punctuation)

3) New Vocabulary

4) Retell Chart: Character, Setting, Events
