Dear James' parents,

James worked very hard throughout today's lesson. He did great!

For today's lesson, we reviewed
James' excellent homework submission as well as his Anchor Chart binder. We also covered Lesson 6 - Task 1 - U3L6 - City Communities.  

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, definitions, and synonyms

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

4) Genre: Narrative Nonfiction

5) Text Feature: special print (bold) and table of contents (author, title, subtitles, chapters, pages, and sometimes illustrator)

6) Synonyms and Antonyms
