Luis seems to be missing a good deal of comprehension in his reading. He responds that he is confused by grammar errors in the text and doesn't really understand the point of the passage. He makes a guess at the end but does not show a real comprehension. Luis writes with some grammar errors but he is still understandable and get's his point across for the most part. Luis's phrasing is a bit off in the translation and some of his meaning may get confused by the reader.
I would highly recommend that Luis practice his writing skills in English. Creative writing or journaling would be very helpful especially if he had a buddy reader to read and edit his writing so that he knows and understands what types of grammar and translation errors he is actually making. Practice makes perfect they say, so I would also recommend some group choral reading and lots of writing practice so that he gets used to using fluency in reading and writing to improve his vocabulary and comprehension. There are a lot of great vocabulary and comprehension skill building tasks that would help to scaffold his knowledge such as Vocabulary Self-Collection, Contextual Redefinition, Vocabulary Journals, reading a variety of texts and reading aloud.
