L/A Reading

1st Semester project

23 August 2013

Dear Parents,

Good day.

The Grade 4 student’s weekly project for the First Semester is to make an “Album of the Story Read” that will enhance their reading comprehension skills. Each week they are required to read 1 story in any printed reading materials or story book. They can also write a story that is related to their life experiences and compile in the folder with Table of Contents as the front page. The students will summarize the story they read, and draw a picture that will help them understand the story. The total stories that they will be having each month will be 4 stories. This project will be checked every end of the month. With this, kindly extend some help and supervision to your child.

Truly yours,

Mr. James
