Daily(ish) Decodable: The "ee" sound

The Need for Speed

 

Today is the fifth of August.

 

I have been watching a lot of the Olympics. After watching the athletes swim and race, I start feeling the need, the need for speed.

 

When I start running, I do not want to go slow. I pump my legs up in the air as fast as I can.

 

I pick up speed as I go. I can feel the wind in my face. What a thrill!

 

When I cross the finish line, I feel like I could run the race again. In fact, I could do it again and again, all week long! 

-------------------------------

Explain It

Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:


  1. What is today's story about?

  2. What inspired the author to run?
