Dear Summer's parents,

Summer had a very strong English language lesson today. Today's reading was a 'Tall Tale' which Summer very much enjoys to read and understand as it is like a puzzle, with many similes and metaphors - it is very figurative its telling. The story was a lot of fun! Well done today, Summer!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Summer's anchor chart binder and we also covered Lesson 5 - Task 1 - U5L1 - In Class - The Great Man of Nebraska.  

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 and comprehension

4) Genre: Tall Tale (Folktale)

5) Figurative Language: similes and metaphors

6) Text Feature: illustrations

7) Homographs

8) Problem and Solution strategies

9) Synonyms
