Presentation
Peter left Miss Martin’s classroom feeling like a loser. His teacher wrote a big
“F” for “fail” on his English exam paper.
Krista, his friend, noticed him looking sad. “What’s wrong, Peter?” asked
Krista.
“I just failed my English exam,” replied Peter. “I made too many spelling
mistakes.”
“If I can spell, you can spell, too, ” said Krista.
Peter didn’t agree. He came from Mexico. English was not his first language.
But Krista was not going to let Peter give up. The next day, she gave Peter
a book — The Top 500 Most Often Misspelled Words.
“There are 125 days left before the end of the school year,” said Krista.
“Each day, you will learn how to spell four of these words. I am here to
help you. OK? Soon, you will master them all.”
Peter accepted the challenge. He worked very hard, both by himself
and with Krista.
On the last day of school, Miss Martin stood in front of the class. She
presented many awards that day, but she was most excited to present one very
special award: the Most-Improved Student Award. She gave it to Peter and
said, “Your spelling was perfect in your last paper. I’m very proud of you.”
Peter felt so happy. After school, he told Krista the good news. “I made it!”
he said. “It’s all because of your help! Thank you so much!”
“Good for you, Peter! I am proud of you.”
