Who’s Nervous Now?
“Did you two choose your music for the piano
recital?” asked Mom.
“I’ll do it later,” said Nan. She had two whole
weeks until the recital.
Ned turned the pages of his music books. After
much deliberation, he made a decision. “I’m going to
start practicing right now,” he said.
Nan put off choosing her music. Instead, she
spend her time thinking about what other people

might play, how she should bow after her
performance, and whether she should greet the
audience with a big or small smile. Meanwhile, Ned
worked hard practicing the piece he had chosen.
“You’re just practicing so much because you’re
Nervous Ned,” said Nan. “I never get nervous.”
The day before the recital, Nan chose her music.
She began to practice, but the piece was too hard.
She chose another piece, and that was hard, too.
“Mom,” Nan cried, her stomach full of bubbles, “I
have to tell Ms. Prince that I can’t play at the recital.
I don’t have time to learn my music!”
At the recital, Ned felt confident. When he
performed, he had fun and played well. Nan, from her
seat in the audience, was surprised. “Wow,” she said.
“I guess practice got rid of Nervous Ned!”

understand and enjoy the story.

Think Aloud
I am going to read a page of “The
Science Fair” aloud. While I read, I will
let my voice go up and down in volume and
pitch so that the sentences make sense.
I will read some words more forcefully to
let listeners know that those words are
more important than others.

tone between dialogue and narration.

how to read what Beany says.
PARTNER-READ.
Now take turns reading the last two
paragraphs of page 364. Remember to
think about how to use your voices as you
read.

Make Predictions
How do readers make
predictions?
As they read, readers make
predictions about characters
and events. They think about
what they already know about
a topic or situation as well as
what they learn from reading
the story.

New Ears for Ani
Jayda and Ani were talking about the school
musical when the bell rang. Try-outs were later in the
afternoon, and everyone was excited.
“Why don’t you try out for the school musical?”
asked Jayda. “I’m going to try out for the role of the
hero.”
“You’re a better singer than I am, and the hero
sings a lot,” said Ani. “Anyway, I can’t try out. I’m too
shy.”
“But you are so funny,” said Jayda.
“Kate is funnier than I am,” said Ani.
“She’s going to try out for the carnival
announcer.
T257
New Ears for Ani

Later that day, Ani watched from the

out for the musical. She wished she could sing
like Jayda or be confident enough to tell jokes
like Kate.
“Great job everyone,” said Ms. Turner.
“What we need now is someone to play the shy
rabbit, but there’s no one left to audition.” She
turned and saw Ani. “Excuse me. You, in the
back of the auditorium,” she called. “How would
you like to wear these rabbit ears?”
Ani smiled and walked to the stage.

Contractions
Contractions are a way to combine two or more
words by replacing letters with an apostrophe.
A contraction does not change the meaning of
the combined words.
Remember:
 Subject pronoun contractions
combine a subject pronoun and a
verb, such as they’re, she’s and you’ve.
 Negative verb contractions combine a verb and
the word not, such as didn’t, can’t and wouldn’t.
T262
Grammar
Contractions
 Negative verb contractions should not
be used in the same sentence with other
negatives. Double negatives, for
example, she doesn’t like no noisy
people, are never correct.
