At that moment I knew I had won. I stared out into the crowd to find myparents. I looked until I found my parents among a room full of faces. I spokeclearly into the microphone, repeated the word, and then spelled it. Myparents leaped out of their seats and began clapping excitedly. My school’sprincipal ran up onto the stage to give me her congratulations. Theannouncer brought over a trophy. It had a plaque that said, “Spelling BeeChampion, 2002.” I was thrilled.

They’re Here!from “Joey’s Way” by Kate Aver

As soon as Joey woke up on Saturday she remembered. Gramp andGrandma are coming today, she thought.

She jumped up, dressed quickly, and got out the shiny, red pail shecollected treasures in. Carefully, she took everything out: her best, unbrokencrayons; wildflowers Grandma had pressed in wax paper; one bright, bluefeather; and a plastic bag with shiny grains of white sand in it. She put themall on her desk, then hurried down the hall.

Her mom was in the kitchen packing food for a weekend getaway withfriends. She hugged Joey. “What an early bird you are,” she said.

“When are Gramp and Grandma coming?” Joey asked.

“Not for a couple more hours,” Mom told her.

“Ohhh,” Joey groaned.

Directions: Read the selection.

LAfter breakfast, Joey’s big brother, Sam, headed for the family room.

“Come on, let’s watch cartoons while we wait for Gramp and Grandma,” hesaid.

“Okay,” Joey’s big sister, Beth, agreed. “You coming, Joey?”

“Not right now,” she answered.

Joey carried her pail to the living room and settled into the window seatto watch for Gramp and Grandma. After a while she saw their station wagonpull into the driveway.

“They’re here! They’re here!” she yelled as she hurried to the front door.Sam and Beth were right behind her, and they all greeted Gramp andGrandma.

“Look at you three,” Gramp said in his big, deep voice. “I think you’veeach grown about a foot since we saw you in the summer!”

The children helped Gramp and Grandma bring in their bags. “Are wegoing somewhere this time, Gramp?” Joey asked.

“You bet,” he said.

“Where?” Joey wanted to know.

“Let’s keep it a surprise for now,” he answered with a wink.

Gramp and Grandma visited with Mom until it was time for her to leave.“Now you be good for Gramp and Grandma,” she told the children, “and I’llsee you tomorrow night.”

ReadingRAfter their mom left, they helped Grandma pack a snack and went out to

the car. Sam climbed in first and sat in the back by the window. Beth got inand sat by the other window. Joey got in last and climbed over into the frontseat with Gramp. She turned around and grinned.

“Hey! You can’t sit up there, Joey,” Sam complained.

“Yeah,” agreed Beth, “you’re supposed to sit back here with us.”

Grandma climbed in the back. “That’s okay,” she said. “Let Joey ride upfront awhile. I’d like to sit with you two, anyway.”

Gramp started the car. “Now will you tell us where we’re going, Gramp?”Joey asked.

“I’ll sing you a hint,” said Gramp. “See if you can guess.”

His deep voice began . . . “Oh, I’ll take you back to that place in thetrees, where Autumn is painted on all of the leaves . . . .”

“Sounds like the woods to me,” Joey guessed.

“Right! Good guess, Joey.”

Joey looked down at her pail.

“Gramp?” she asked. “Do you think I’ll find treasures there?”

“I’m sure you will, Joey. The woods are full of treasures.”

Thomas Edisonby John Kennedy

Thomas Edison was born in 1847 in Milan, Ohio. As a child, Thomaswas curious about many things. He always wondered how things worked.When he was 10 years old, Thomas set up a laboratory in his basement sohe could do science experiments.

Thomas had his first job when he was 12 years old. He rode the trainand sold newspapers and candy to the passengers. One day at work, Thomassaved a little boy from being run over by a train. To reward Thomas, the littleboy’s father taught him how to use the telegraph machine. The telegraph sentmessages to other towns over electric wires. The machine made clickingsounds in Morse code. This special code used dots and dashes that stood forthe letters of the alphabet.

In 1863, Thomas Edison got a job as a telegraph operator. During hisfree time, Thomas kept doing experiments.



Lectura


LIn 1868, Thomas received his first patent. It was for an electric voting

machine. A patent is a special paper that proves that the invention is theinventor’s and no one else’s. Though Thomas did not make much moneyfrom the voting machine, he decided to work on making more things thatwere useful.

Thomas Edison moved to New Jersey and started his own business,making and selling his inventions. He also got married. He nicknamed hisfirst child “Dot” and his second child “Dash” after the signals used to sendtelegraph messages.

In 1877 Thomas found a way to save sounds and replay them. Hecalled this invention a phonograph. Thomas Edison spoke into thephonograph. When he replayed it, Thomas heard his own voice saying thenursery rhyme “Mary Had A Little Lamb.” He was the first person to have hisvoice recorded! Today’s tape recorders and CDs came from his invention.

Thomas Edison’s most famous invention was the electric light bulb. Inthe 1870s, lights inside homes came from candles, oil lamps, or gas lights.The lights were dim and often caused fires. Thomas wanted to make a brightlight that was safe to use indoors.

His idea was to use electricity to heat a thin strip of material inside aglass bulb. The material had to glow but not melt or break when it got hot.Thomas experimented for more than a year to find the right material. In 1879,he finally tried a piece of baked cotton thread. When electricity passedthrough the glass bulb, the thread inside glowed for 13 hours!
