Each subject gives Ava a chance to practice new skills, and her work shows a good grasp of what has been taught. Reading comprehension is a clear strength for Ava, who explains what a text means and backs up ideas with details from the book. Unfamiliar words slow Ava down only briefly, since she can quickly apply familiar sound patterns and word parts to work them out. A paragraph organizer with boxes for a topic sentence, three details and a closing will help Ava build complete paragraphs. It is a pleasure to have Ava in our class.

Since the start of the year, Ava has regularly taken part in discussions and group work. Ava breaks long-term projects into smaller steps on her own and finishes each stage ahead of the checkpoint dates. Ava readily volunteers to share her thinking, even on difficult questions, and explains ideas clearly to the class. She should save every assignment to a labeled class folder on her device so work is easy to find and submit on time. It is a pleasure to have Ava in class, and I am glad to see her settling in so well.

Ava communicates clearly in everyday English and checks verb tenses and word order when speaking and writing. During practical work in science, Ava explains her method and results to the group in a logical order, using precise subject terms. During class discussion, Ava listens carefully to different points of view and responds directly to what each speaker has said. She could look at the headings, pictures and words in bold on a textbook page before the lesson to predict the topic. With continued practice, Ava will keep gaining accuracy in spoken and written English.
