The Kite in the Elm

Sami's kite caught in the top of the elm on the very first day. He tried throwing a ball at it. He tried a long stick. He tried shaking the trunk with both arms. The kite stayed exactly where it was. His sister Rana came out with a bucket and a length of washing line. She tied the line to the bucket handle, threw the bucket over the branch, and pulled. The branch bent. The kite slid off and dropped into the grass. "How did you know that would work?" said Sami. "I didn't," said Rana.

  1. 1. What did Rana say when Sami asked how she knew?
  2. 2. What did Rana bring out?
  3. 3. Which words show Sami's attempts failed?
  4. 4. Where did Sami's kite get caught?

The New Boy

A new boy called Iosif joined the class in November. He did not speak much English yet. At playtime he stood by the wall. Some children waved. He looked away. Marta noticed he was watching the football. She rolled the ball to him. He stopped it neatly and rolled it back. They passed it for ten minutes without saying a word. When the bell went, Iosif said one word: "Tomorrow?" "Tomorrow," said Marta.

  1. 1. What one word did Iosif say?
  2. 2. Which sentence shows Iosif was interested in the football?
  3. 3. What did Marta roll to him?
  4. 4. Which words tell you Iosif was new to English?
