Sidewinder Sally Snake slithers slowly sideways. Mother Mallard makes much money matching mismatched mittens. Ritzy Rosie rocked royally riding around in a red racecar.

=== When you read you get better and better each year. I learned when you read you can write better no matter what grade you’re in at that time. Last year I was in Ms. Cink class. She was the best teacher I’ve ever had! She taught me how to read, write, and spell! It’s a great feeling to see that everyone is so proud of me for reading at a third grade level although I’m only in second grade. What book do you like to read? I like to read Princess and the Pea! I learned that the mighty mighty middle is the juicy detail. I love to read better than anything because it’s fun when you read. You get all the detail you need from the story. The mighty middle is a middle of a taco. When you read and you don’t know the words just keep swimming then go back. It’s like these magical people come help you. You can read is something you should repeat to yourself in order to be your own motivator. Do math and other things you like to do! Sometimes you have to take a test on reading and math, but it lets you go to higher levels once achieved. Some don’t know how to read even at six years old, but teachers give you a chance to practice until almost perfect. Reading brings knowledge and understanding. My birthday is January 30thand I will be eight years old. My family always tells me I have a big vocabulary to be so young! I have a passion for reading because I jazz it up and make it fun! The most boring story can be jazzed up through imagination and many other things! If I can do, so can you now let’s all jazz it up this year with amazing reading! ===
