Lainey finished third grade. She had good grades and could read 1 grade level, but she did not like to read. On a family car trip, her Aunt Dede pulled out a copy of Harry Potter, as a surprise for her 2. But Lainey took one look at it,3her eyes, and said,"Boring!”
Aunt Dede, a teacher, had read the book to her students, and they loved it. 4the youngest children in the class were 5 by the story.They 6 with great interest and then 7 joined in grand conversations about Harry's adventures.
“How can you say it's 8? Have you read it? ” asked Aunt Dede.
“No, it's too long and it doesn't have any 9 .” complained Lainey.
“Oh, that's where you are 10; there are lots of pictures. Every page is full of pictures; you just have to read the words to 11 them. It's like magic.”
“Nice try, Aunt Dede,” Lainey replied 12 from the back seat.
Another 13 was in order. “Well, if you don't want to read it, give it 14. Maybe your mom would 15 hearing the story.” The book sailed through the air to Aunt Dede and she began to read it aloud. By the end of the first chapter, 16 were coming from the back seat: "Please read a little 17.”
