Lesson 1

Read the story. Then circle the letter of the best answer to each question.
Emilio was home from school with a broken ankle. He would not
use the crutches. So he was stuck in bed. His room seemed very quiet.
The clock ticked loudly. The house creaked. He missed school. He
missed his friends. He missed playing outside. Emilio clapped his
hands. He snapped his fingers. He read one book and then another.
He sang songs. Finally, he ran out of things to do. He looked at the
crutches for a long time. Emilio decided to use them after all.
The next morning Emilio was dressed and downstairs. “I’m going
outside to wait for the school bus,” he said as he hopped to the door.
“Nice crutches,” said his dad.
“I think so, too,” said Emilio.
Have the student retell you the story about Emilio and his broken ankle. Afterwards, brainstorm together retelling the story with a new main character and a different setting.
What words help you tell where the action happens?
Remember that the story is usually about the character who has a problem to solve.
Look for words in the story that tell us what day and time it is.
1. Where does the story take place?A at the family’s storeB in a gardenC in Emilio’s house
2. Who is the story about?A EmilioB the houseC a song
3. When does the story take place?A Monday nightB on a school dayC after school

Who is the important person in the story?
Ask the student to imagine a story involving some friends. Ask him or her to identify the characters and the setting.
Ina did not know where she put her dollar bill. She had earned the money
pulling weeds from her neighbor’s flower garden. Ina thought she had put the
money under her bed, but it was not there.
“I can’t find my dollar!” Ina cried. “I was going to buy some seed for the
birds outside my window.”
Ina looked on the table, in the closet, and under her pillow. It was nowhere
to be found.
That night, Ina had an idea. She remembered that it was dark under her bed.
She took out a flashlight. Just as Ina was losing hope, she saw something. It was
the dollar, tucked way back in the corner. The wind must have blown it. Now
she was excited to buy food for the birds.
We learn about characters by how they act. Setting is where
the story takes place.

Have the student point to the clues that help show what the author’s purpose is in this selection.
Terrific Trees
Oaks are some of the best trees for a yard. They grow very large, so
they give lots of shade. That is especially good in the summer. Oak trees
also can live more than 200 years, so they give shade for a long time.
Acorns are another reason why oak trees are good.
Acorns start to grow when a tree is about 20 years old.
One tree can give hundreds of acorns. Acorns grow into
new oak trees and can also be food for squirrels.
If you need a new tree for your yard, think about
planting an oak tree. Every yard should have one.
When authors write stories, they usually write for a purpose. A purpose might be to inform, to entertain, or to send a message to readers.

Jamie and his grandfather went fishing. Jamie had never been fishing

When they arrived at the lake, they baited their hooks. They cast
their lines into the water and began to wait for fish to bite. It seemed
like a long time, but it was only a few minutes before Jamie felt a tug on
his pole. He had a bite! Slowly, he reeled in the fish. Jamie’s grandfather
caught it in the net and helped him take the fish off of the hook.
“What are you going to do with it?” Grandfather asked.
“I’m going to save it to show my dad,” Jamie
replied proudly.
Jamie put the fish in a bucket of water.
“You can swim here until my dad gets home,”
Jamie told his fish. “Then we’ll put you back into
the lake, where you belong.”

Rachel tore the paper into tiny pieces. She hated it! She had
tried to make a picture of her backyard twice before that
day. Each time, she had torn up the paper. This time,
she took a break and walked around the room. Slowly,
a picture of her backyard formed in her mind. There
was grass, and there were trees. There also were birds
and butterflies. As she sat down and began to draw,
she knew this picture would be just what she wanted.
Sam had never been so angry in his life. His best friend Josh
had not invited him to his birthday party. Everyone in school was

none had come for him. He would never speak to Josh again. As he
walked through his front door, his mother handed him an envelope.
He ripped it open and saw an invitation to Josh’s party!

Born in Winchester, Virginia, in 1888, Richard Evelyn Byrd was a
famous aviator who explored both the north and south poles. A fighter
pilot for the U.S. Navy during World War I, Byrd developed a passion
for flying that eventually led him to Antarctica.
On May 9, 1926, Byrd and another flyer, Floyd Bennet, took off
from King’s Bay, Norway. Their goal was to fly over the north pole. It is
widely believed that this was the first airplane flight to the pole. It took
them fifteen and a half hours.
After this, Byrd led several expeditions to Antarctica. In 1929, he
established “Little America” there. This camp for scientific research
and exploration has been in use ever since. Byrd’s last expedition to
Antarctica was in 1956.

Read the two selections below. Answer the questions about the author’s message. Circle the letter of the best answer.
Most plants get food from the soil. There is one, though, that is
different. The Venus Flytrap gets nutrients from live insects. Venus
Flytraps have two leaves with pointed edges that look like teeth. The
leaves stay open until an insect lands on one of them. Then, the leaves
snap shut and trap the insect. The flytrap produces a liquid that helps it
digest the insect. Once it digests the insect, the flytrap opens its leaves
again. It is ready for its next meal.
1. What is the author’s message in this selection?
A Many insects do not have wings.
B Flowers grow faster in direct sunlight.
C Venus Flytraps get food in an interesting way.
Starfish are a special kind of sea animal. They have five arms and
are shaped like a star. A starfish can grow a new arm if one gets cut off.
If a starfish is cut in two, the pieces will each form a new animal. The
starfish’s ability to regrow new arms makes it a real survivor.

Extra Support
Read the passage. Look for cause and effect relationships. Then circle the letter of the best answer.
Bat Habitats
Where in the world do bats live? Almost everywhere! Bats like very
warm weather. Because of this, many bats live near the equator, where it
is warmer than other places.
Bats can be found on six continents.
Antarctica is the only continent where
bats are not found. That is because the weather in Antarctica is very cold.
Some islands that are far away from continents do not have many
bats. This is because the bats cannot fly all the way to the islands from
the continents.
The United States has more kinds of bats than most other places.
This means there may be bats living near you!
1. Why do many bats live near the equator?A because they like warm weatherB because they like cold weatherC because they like to swim
2. Why don’t bats live in Antarctica?A because there are too many penguinsB because they like to live on islandsC because Antarctica is too cold
Guide the student to identify cause and effect relationships at home. For example, “We read together every night, so the television is turned off at 7:00.”
The reason an event happens is the cause, and what happens is the effect.

Read the story. Then circle the letter of the best answer to each question.
It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon. Lenny, a clubhorned grasshopper,
hopped towards the river. He saw that the water moved quickly. “How
am I going to cross this river?” he asked.
As Lenny thought about a solution, he heard a voice. It came from the
trees. “I can help you,” said a blackbird. “I can carry you across the river.”
“You have a very sharp beak,” said Lenny. “It might hurt me.”
“Don’t worry about my beak,” said the blackbird as he flew down.
“I forgot something. Clubhorned grasshoppers do not cross rivers on
Tuesdays. It’s bad luck!” Then Lenny jumped away as fast as he could.
Have the student suggest a different ending for the story.
1. Why is the grasshopper worried about the blackbird?
A The bird wants to cross the river.
B The bird has a sharp beak.
C The bird is the grasshopper’s friend.
2. What do you think blackbirds like to eat?
A They eat other birds.
B They eat rocks.
C They eat insects, like grasshoppers.
3. Why did Lenny jump away as fast as he could?
A Lenny guessed that the bird really wanted to eat him.
B Lenny wanted to meet a friend on the other side of the river.
C Lenny wanted the bird to follow him.
