EAIS SUMMER PACK

Going into grade 2

Egyptian American International School

Dear Parents, Our students have come along way this year with their reading and comprehension skills. It is

always our goal to help our little ones maintain their level. Your child will read two stories “Bed

Making Blues” and “That Worked”. After they are done reading they will fill out a book report for

each story. The book report is included in the following pages. Also, included in this pack are

worksheets to help our beautiful children review some of the concepts acquired during grade 1

to help them have a smooth start in grade 2.

Good Luck and have an enjoyable summer.

Rock Bandby Roy Kindelberger

“Let’s make a rock band,” said Beth.

“Great,” said Rob. “I can play the drums.” He hit the drums. Rat a tat tat.

Kim smiled. “I will play the guitar.” Strum strum.

Jim picked up a keyboard. He pushed the keys. “Cool, I will play this.” Ting, ting, tong.

Bill started to sing. La, la, la.

Beth looked around. “What should I play?” She dug in a box.

She pulled out a big bell. “Look a cowbell.” Bang, bang, bong.

“Let’s rock!”

They played and sang all night long.

He flapped his cape in front of the mirror.

This is the best costume, he thought.

Joey skipped downstairs.

“Here I come to rescue you!” Joey shouted.

“Nice costume,” said Joey’s dad.

“I’m a superhero,” said Joey.

“Joey,” said Mom, “I need you to watch Mindy at the party.”

Joey looked at his little sister. “But Mom, superheroes don’t have kid sisters.”

“Well this superhero has a sister,” said Mom.

“What will Mindy’s costume be?” asked Dad.

“I’m not sure,” said Mom.

Joey got an idea. “I know!”
