Dear Michael's parents,

Michael did very well during today's English language lesson. His reading articulation and enunciation was excellent today, especially with the 'th' blend sound. Fantastic! We also spent time on reviewing his test-taking skills and strategies for Multiple-Choice and Written Responses for tests. Michael worked hard and was fully engaged throughout the lesson. Great work today, Michael!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Michael's weekly test homework and we also covered Lesson 29 - Task 1 - U4L10 - In Class - A Little World.

We focused on the following literacy concepts:

1) Pre-reading strategies: prediction, identification, text-to-self and text-to-world connections

2) Key/New vocabulary - Translations and Synonyms

3) Reading strategies: Articulation & Enunciation, Fluency, Decoding, and Comprehension

4) Genre: Fiction

5) Theme

6) Similes

7) Test-taking skills and strategies: 

a) Key Vocabulary
