Hey Melanie,
What’s up girl? Not much here just being bored in Science again. Wish you
were here. I can’t come over to your house tonight. I have to read that stupid book. My
Antonia is so boring. I totally don’t understand it. You remember when they made us
take that stupid AR test. Well, I know I should have failed it. They told us what it was for
and I taught I really just need to hurry through mark down answers. But you know me,
over achiever. I took my time and ended up with an 11+ grade reading level. Can you
believe that?!?!?! Nobody I knows reads like that. Except for Mary Gentry. She doesn’t
do anything but read and FAST! She reads like three novels every night. I heard she
got grounded for staying up all night reading. Her parents were soooo mad in the
morning. Anyways, I got many books at 10th grade level but they were way tooo hard
plus they are worth nothing, 5 or 6 points a piece. I can’t understand them to read fast
enough and that would mean I have to read like 4 of them every six weeks. I can’t do
that. I BEGGED Mrs. Van H. to let me go down to 8th grade level but she wouldn’t let
me until my mom called. Hey! You should have your mom call too. So she let me read
a couple of 8th grades. Two were really great. You gotta read that one called The
Game of Life and the other one you gotta read is Something Rotten in the State of
Maryland. It’s about this cute boy. It’s great.
So did Mike give you the answers to the Firm already? Are you taking that test
today? I can give you answer to The Game of Life if you will give me answers to the
Firm. So we could all get through 2 books a six weeks and share answers. Well got to
go. Bells gona ring.
Bye,
Leslee
It’s now high school and see what you’ve done.
I hate to read, it really no fun.
It was all so hard and frustrating to see,
That everyone was getting it but me.
Hurl to the depths whoever made up AR.
Without you, I would have gone far.
Every book required was so far beyond me.
I pleaded for help but no one would hear me.
Assessing the situation two roads I could go down,
One to struggle and certainly fall to the ground
The other to cheat and just to get by.
A little of both I did try.
And now I see what fun I did miss.
Not reading any books is really not bliss.
Adventures not dreamed and stories untold.
I hate hating reading and thinking it cold.
So it’s time to revamp this wicked program.
So many students get lost and never read again.
I feel for each one because I have been their too.
The emptiness of failure and yourself is what you lose.
