Dear Mr. Buxton,
I used to think Benjamin Franklin was a very boring fellow, but now, after reading this book, I have noticed that he was actually quite an interesting man. Did you know that Franklin invented the lightning rod, the Franklin Stove, AND the battery?
Visualizing, I could feel how mad Benjamin felt when he went on a ship with a permit to buy his printing equipment and then, when he got to England, it was invalid! Benjamin was also really good at making meaningful quotations. Some of my favorite are "a rolling stone gathers no moss" and "boy that can give up essential liberty, to obtain a little safety, deserves neither liberty nor safety."
When I got to the part in the book about the Franklin Stove, I was also amazed about how Franklin was able to put a stove and a fireplace all in one, AND make it better all stoves and batteries at the time.
I think this is a great book that YOU should read.
Sincerely,
George
Here is my vocaroo for reading fluency, I couldn't hear it when I tried to listen to it, so it might not work.
Enjoy!

My Reading letter
Dear Mr. Buxton,
I think I read a wide variety of reading genres. I also think I get the hang of all of the different types of questions. I used to get frustrated with further research questions, but once I was able to ask a few in my reading myself, I found it easy to continue. In the biography about Benjamin Franklin I'm reading right now, it has been a pleasure to Visualize Benjamin's success in business. I think I am doing a good job!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
George
