Key Points Reading

How I Learned Geography1 A boy and his family left their

country because of war. They lived in a small room. They had no toys or books, and very little food. One night, Father returned home with a map instead of bread. The boy was very angry.

2 The next day, Father hung up the map. The boy began to study the map. He traveled to faraway countries without even leaving the room.

3 The boy saw deserts, beaches, and mountains. He saw temples, fruit groves, and tall buildings. He spent many hours away from his hunger. He understood that his father was right after all.

Fluency: Intonation

“How I Learned Geography”Use this passage to practice reading with proper intonation.

It was nearly dark when he came home. He carried

a long roll of paper under his arm.

“I bought a map,” he announced triumphantly.

“Where is the bread?” Mother asked.

“I bought a map,” he said again.

Mother and I said nothing.

“I had enough money to buy only a tiny piece of bread,

and we would still be hungry,” he explained apologetically.

“No supper tonight,” Mother said bitterly. “We’ll have

the map instead.”

From “How I Learned Geography,” page 158

Fluency: Phrasing

“Extreme Earth”Use this passage to practice reading with proper phrasing.

Our next extreme place is under water. It is the Great

Barrier Reef, off the coast of Australia. It is the largest reef on

Earth. It is bigger than New Mexico. In fact, the Great Barrier

Reef is the largest thing ever built by living creatures.

The builders are tiny animals called coral polyps. Each

polyp takes chemicals from the sea. It uses the chemicals to

make a hard outer skeleton shaped like a cup. This cup

protects the polyp’s soft body.
