Reading Comprehension for April 27
It was a very special day. Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal had three new babies. Their names were Timmy, Tommy, and Tammy. They had hatched from tiny gray and brown eggs that morning.
Timmy and Tommy were boys. Tammy was a girl. They all looked like their mother.
Later Timmy and Tommy would look like their father. They would be bright red. They would have a red bill and black faces.
Tammy would look like her mother. She would be brown and gray. She would have a red crest. She would have some red feathers on her wings. She would have a red bill, too.
Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal were very proud. They sang about the babies. Their song was very loud. They wanted all the birds to know that they had babies.
Mr. and Mrs. Goldfinch came to see the babies.
Mr. and Mrs. Chickadee came to see the little ones.
Bobby Bluejay came.
Will Wren flew down, too.
Mr. and Mrs. Robin were there.
Tony and Terry Titmouse came to the nest.
Soon all the trees around the nest were full of birds. The birds talked and sang. What a wonderful day it was! New babies in the woods!
Mr. Cardinal picked up three seeds. He flew down to the ground. He pushed each seed into the dirt. He covered them up. Then he flew back to the nest.
