There are several different formats and versions of the same reading contained in this file:
(a)On pages 2-3, there is a storybook that contains three leveled readings. To use it, print out pages 3-4 and
make double sided copies. Then, instruct your students to fold the papers in half, with the page with
“Nom___” as the cover. They should reach each page in order and answer the questions that are included.
A final set of questions is on the last page of the booklet.
• If you like the leveled format of these readings, please check out the Embedded Reading website to
learn more about this instructional strategy developed by Laurie Clarcq and Michele Whaley:

(b)On page 5, there is a projectable version of the final (most detailed) version of the reading.
(c)On pages 6-7, there is a photocopiable version of the final (most detailed) version of the reading along
with comprehension questions. Make double sided copies and cut them in half so that each student
receives a 1/2 page reading and comprehension questions.
Thank you to Megan Murphy for proof-reading this file for me!
