2 READING GUIDE Remember this: The topic is what a piece of writing is about. The main idea is the most important idea about the topic. Details are small pieces of information about the main idea. Read the story and then answer the questions. Every summer, Jamie s family goes to a beach to swim in the warm waters. Jamie s brother, Sebastian, his mom and dad like to snorkel. They breathe through a tube. They wear goggles so they can see the colorful fish. But Jamie does not swim well. He cannot go snorkeling yet.

3 COMPARE AND CONTRAST Remember this: Compare by telling how two or more things are alike. Contrast by telling how two or more things are different. Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions below. Most people enjoy seeing goldfinches in summer. The cheerful little birds are bright yellow with dark markings on their wings and tail. In winter, these birds seem to disappear. Some goldfinches do fly south, but many more stay right in the same neighborhood all year long. They seem to disappear because their yellow feathers turn brown to blend with the drab winter surroundings. The brown feathers help keep them from being an easy target for hungry enemies. In winter, you might mistake them for sparrows, unless you see their dark markings, which stay the same. The next time you see a group of colorless looking little birds perched in a brown, tree, take a closer look. They might be goldfinches hiding out for the winter. 1. Compare and contrast goldfinches in summer with goldfinches in winter. 2. How are goldfinches like sparrows during winter? 3. How can you tell the difference between goldfinches and sparrows in winter? 4. Do you think goldfinches that fly south change color? Why or why not? Color the goldfinches in summer and in winter.

They lived in the middle of a grassy plain, where Lion hunted zebras and Mouse ate seeds and nuts. Late one afternoon, Lion was caught in a hunter s net.
