Dear Brian's parents,

Even though Brian has begun his Summer Holidays, he still worked very hard throughout today's lesson. Brian is a very good student and it is very nice to teach him again.

For today's lesson, we covered Lesson 11 - Task 1 - U5L8 - In Class - Down on the Farm.  

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: translation, definition, and synonym

3) Reading strategies: articulation & enunciation, inflection, intonation, pace, fluency, text feature, and comprehension

4) Genre: Realistic Fiction

5) Text Feature: Table of Contents (title, author, chapters, subtitles, pages, and sometimes, illustrator)
