Unit 4
Reading
Ricky’s Day in Bridgetown I didn’t like the post office because we had to wait in a long line. Mommy posted a parcel to Auntie Maya in Canada. Then, we went along Broad Street to the market. We bought a big snapper for dinner on Friday. We got lots of fruit and vegetables. I love all the colours and the smells in the market. On the bus home, I read my library book.
The answers to some questions are right there in the text. Sometimes you have to think and search . Sometimes the answer is in your own head .
