Welcome to Wordly Wise 3000@

You've been leorning words since you were 0 tiny boby.At first, you
leorned them only by heoring other people tolk. Now thot you're 0
reoder, you hove onother woy to leorn words.
When you reod, it's importont to know whot every word meons.You

con try skipping 0 word you don 't know. But this might couse 0
problem. Reod this sentence:

Anyone wíthout 0 megtob wíll not get ínto the show.
If you hove no ideo of whot 0 megtab is, you might not get in .AII of 0
sudden, knowing whot thot one word meons is importont!
The more words you know, the better.You will understond more of
whot you reod. Wordly Wíse 3000 con't teoch you a !l the words you ’ II
need, but it will help you leorn lots of them.lt con olso help you leorn
how to leorn even more words.

How 00 Vou Figure Out What 0 Word Means?
Whot should you do when you come to 0 word ond you think you
don't know whot it meons? Following some eosy steps con help you .
Say It
First, sound it out. Then soy it to yourself. It might sound like 0 word
you know. Sometimes you know 0 word in your heod without knowing
whot it looks like in print. So if you motch up whot you know ond whot
you reod- you hove the word!
Use Context
If this doesn• work, toke the next step : look ot the context-the other
words ond sentences oround it. Reod this sentence:

When ít raíned, the dog looked for shelter under the porch.

IV

If the word shelter doesn't look fomilio r, look ot the words oround it.
Rain ond under the porch might give you 0 clue. You might even do
o Think-Aloud:

I know that if you don γ want to get wet outside when it rains, you
need to get under something.ln this sentence, the dog went

under the porch to stay dry. $0 shelter must mean "something

that protects you.ι Yes, that makes sense in this sentence.
Use Word Parts
If the context doesn• help, look ot the ports of the word. Does it hove
ony ports you know? These con help you figure out whot it meons.
Reod this sentence:

The miners put on their hard hats before going to work.
If you don't know the meoning of miner, try looking ot ports of the
word. You might know thot 0 mine is 0 ploce underground where
people get cool ond other voluoble things. A lot of times, -er ot the
end of 0 word meons "0 person who does something ." For exomple,
o teacher teoches in 0 school. So 0 miner might be someone who
works in 0 mine.You would put on 0 hord hot if you were going into 0
mine. Thot meoning of miner mokes sense.
Look It Up
If soying the word or using context ond word ports don't work, you
con look it up. You con find the word in 0 dictionory-either 0 book or
online-or 0 glossory.
Nobody knows the meoning of every word, but good reoders know
how to figure out words they don't know.

claw
couple Bailey Finds a New Home
cushion
Sandra Adams and Ken Hodkinson live at Sugar Wood

에ap Farm in New Hampshire. They have 0 cat named Bailey. He
did not always live with them. If Bailey could talk, he might
groom tell you how he came to live with Sandra and Ken. Leγs
share imagine he can.
shelter
yard At first. Ken and Sandra didn’t want me.1\l1any times I waited

zer。 l outside their door for them to return home.1 knew I only had 0
couple of seconds to make my move. So I would rub against
Sandra's calf, purring loudly and looking up at her face. But Ken
always said, “ Don 't let him in. Don ’t let him in." And they shut the
door in my face.

It's true that I already had 0 home. But I had to share it with
two other cats who liked to bully me.That was no fun.1 wanted
something better. Sugar Wood Farm was just around the corner,
and I checked it out carefully. 1counted the cats that lived there.
The number I came up with was zero. As we cats saμ “ Purr-fect! "

Weeks went bμ and it was the same every time. I hung around
the door for hours and Ken and Sandra always closed it in my

face. But I never gave up. Then, one dark and stormy night. my

chance came. 1was waiting for them to come home, as usual.
when it started to rain. Now, cats know enough to get out of the
rain.1 could have taken shelter in their woodshed . But I wanted to
be right there on the doorstep when they came home.

Before long, the rain turned to snow. This was even better. I was

sure that no one would turn 0 cat away on such 0 night.1 heard
their car pull into the yard. Then I watched them hurry toward the
house. As soon as they saw me, I started to meow like 0 little
lost kitten.

6 Lesson 1

In no time, I was inside the house. Sandra dried me with 0
warm, fluffy towel. Ken kept saying, “ Don’t feed him. Don 't feed
him ." But I wasrγt looking for food just then . 1was looking for 0 new
home. At last, I thought I had found it. I was right. Before long, they
were feeding me. Sandra talked to my old owners about me. They
missed me, but they had two other cats. I didn't feel bad.

Cats spend 0 lot of time sleeping, so Sandra made 0 soft
cushion for me to use. To be honest, I prefer their bed. They also
made 0 cat door for me with 0 little flap.1 just push it open with
my nose and it closes behind me. Sandra likes to groom me. I think
I do it better myself, but it gives her 0 lot of pleasure. I try not t。
sharpen my claws on their furniture. I think they are happy to have
me around.

Answer each of the questions with 0 sentence.

o How did Bailey know there were zero cats at Sugar Wood Farm?

e How do you know that Ken didn't want to share his home with Bailey?

Ð Why do you think Bailey rubbed against Sandra's calf and not Ke따?

o Why didn't Bailey look for shelter when it started to rain and

then snow?
