Jr. Genius’ Reader Ready Program Pt. 2 Long Vowels Long and Combination Long Vowel Reading Toes in My Nose - Bruce Lansky I bet that I could do it. My friends all said, "No way." And now my toes are in my nose, So they will have to pay. They each owe me a dollar. Of that there is no doubt. There's just one problem. I cannot get them out.
Mother Doesn't Want a Dog- Bruce Lansky Mother doesn't want a dog. Mother says they smell, And never sit when you say sit, Or even when you yell. And when you come home late at night And there is ice and snow, You have to go back out because The dumb dog has to go. Mother doesn't want a dog. Mother says they shed, And always let the strangers in And bark at friends instead, And do disgraceful things on rugs, And track mud on the floor, And flop upon your bed at night And snore there, doggy snore.
Mother doesn't want a dog. She's making a mistake. Because, more than a dog, I think She will not want this snake.

Jr. Genius’ Reader Ready Program Pt. 2 Long Vowels Vowels Story My friend Sue and I rode the train to Duke Lake. It rained that day, so I wore my coat, but Sue forgot hers and she got a cold. Her nose was red and her feet were tired, but we had fun. We played with our bikes and flew kites in the wind. Sue hates peas so our meal was of fruit and juice with five ice cubes. I think next year, I will take a jet or a boat. English is a Pain! (Pane?) Shirlee Curlee Bingham Rain, reign, rein, English is a pain. Although the words Sound just alike, The spelling's not the same! Bee, be, B I'd rather climb a tree, Than learn to spell The same old word, Not just one way, but three! Sight, site, cite, I try with all my might. No matter which I finally choose, It's not the one that's right! There, their, they're, Enough to make you swear. Too many ways To write one sound, I just don't think it's fair! To, two, too, So what's a kid to do? I think I'll go To live on Mars, And leave this mess with ewe! (you?)
