Dear Summer's parents,

Summer had another strong lesson today. His reading fluency is exceptional, especially when reading dialogue, using in-character voice. Also, his intonations, when reading punctuation, are excellent! Wonderful work today, Summer!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Summer's homework and we also covered Lesson 2 - Task 1 - U5L2 - In Class - The Perfect Present.  

We covered the following literacy concepts and strategies:

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

2) Key / New vocabulary: definitions and synonyms

3) Reading strategies: context clues, text features, fluency, and comprehension

4) Genre: Realistic Fiction

5) Printing strategies for improvement

6) Problem and Solution strategies

7) Figurative Language: personification, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, similes, and metaphors

8) Sequence of Events - vocabulary
