Dear Dr. Know, There are too many rules! At 6:00 a.m., my mom says, “Get up now and make your bed!” After breakfast, my mom always says, “Don’t leave the dirty dishes in the kitchen!” After that, I run to school because I can’t be late. At school, we have more rules— don’t be noisy, don’t eat in class,…

Read the letters, underline the rules for Molly.
