Peter left Miss Martin’s classroom, feeling like a loser. 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.”
Peter was from Mexico. English was not his first language.
“No worries! You need to make a little progress every day,” said Krista.
The next day, she gave Peter a book: The Top 500 Most Often Misspelled Words.
“There are 125 days until the final exam,” said Krista. “Every day you learn four of those words. Soon, you will master them all.”
Although Peter felt that was not easy for him, he accepted the challenge.
Peter practiced every day, and he invented a word memory game with his little sister. They both found it interesting to learn English.
On the last day of class, Miss Martin excitedly presented Peter with a very special award: the Most-Improved Student Award.
Peter felt so happy. After school, he shared the good news with Krista.
“I made it!” he said. “Thanks for your help!”
“Good for you, Peter! I am proud of you. You put in the hard work yourself!” said Krista.
