Read It Have your child read the passage below:
A Drink of Water
I can’t stand it any longer. This is not a drill.
I need a drink of water.
It has to be cold. It has to be wet. It has to be fresh.
I go to the sink.
I fetch a big cup from the cabinet.
I clutch it in my hand.
Drip, drop, splash.
I watch the water fill my cup.
I fill it up to the brim.
I bring it to my lips and begin to drink.
Ahh! It’s cold. It's wet. It's good. It's refreshing. ------------------------------- Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What does the author need?
Where did the author get the cup?
