128-B It’s no fun to rip your pants climbing over a fence. I hope nobody rips off my copy of Mad magazine. The thief shouldn’t have ripped off the policeman’s badge. My sister was caught ripping up one of mom’s old dresses. It’s not nice to go around tripping people. Kip is such a klutz that he even has tripped over his own feet. My family doesn’t go on trips anywhere except to the store. I’ll bet you can’t trip an elephant. All I need to trip you is a strip of paper three inches long. My sister Kip ripped her paper into little tiny strips. You should have stripped off all the old wallpaper first. My sister hates stripping off wallpaper. My little brother was gripping my hand all the way through Jaws. He shouldn’t have gripped my hand so hard. My bike needs some new handlebar grips. I think you’re losing your grip. I just can’t stand to hear a faucet drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. Here’s a spelling tip. If a word rhymes with tip the last two letters are -ip as in nip, snip, hip, pip, zip, chip, ship, Kip, skip, whip, quip, and equip as in equipment. More spelling tips. If a word rhymes with tips, the last three letters probably are -ips as in nips, snips, hips, pips, zips, chips, ships, skips, whips, quips and equips but not eclipse (not Eclips). The dog tipped over the garbage can. The cat dipped her paw into the fish bowl. Silly Sally and Silly Sammy sipped on their sodas. The dog didn’t really bite me. He just nipped me. The barber snipped off more of my hair than I wanted him to. The captain was skipped over when promotion time came. It certainly isn’t any fun to get whipped—even at chess. I can remember the last time my dad gave me a whipping. As I recall, it was for skipping school. I hate to hear a little kid lipping off to his mother. You can really hurt yourself slipping on ice. Girls are all to often flipping over some new singer.

129-B My brother is a cop. My sister is a cop. My dad was a cop. We used to play cops and robbers when we were kids. I wish Pop wouldn’t have copped out on me. Somebody is always copping out or copping a plea. A penny is made out of copper. I am not the world’s best shopper. I just hate to go shopping. My pop should have shopped at the pawn shop. My mother shops where she can get the very best bargains. She knows the best place to shop for meat. Do you know how to chop up wood or to chop down a tree? I really like lamb chops. I just wish they weren’t so expensive. The butcher chopped up the meat into little pieces. It’s no fun to have your head on the chopping block. A helicopter is a fancy word for a chopper. My grandfather got a new set of choppers (false teeth). Has anybody seen Mr. Topper’s choppers? Mr. Topper is my grandfather. I like to use real whipped cream as a topping. There’s nothing stopping you from using it as a topping. We should have stopped him before he got started. He topped it all off with a long story about when he was a kid. But Pop is still tops in my book. My brother slops his food all over the place. When he comes in, my brother just flops down any old place. If old Stone Hands drops another pass, I’ll kick him off the team. My brother mops the floors at our house every Saturday. He should have mopped all the floors yesterday. The Tigers dropped another game to the New York Yankees. When Pop came in, he just flopped down on the sofa. Pop slopped his soup all over the tie I got him for Father’s Day. I should have stopped Pop from wearing that tie. I had to pull out the stopper before I could pour the lemonade. Mr. Hopper put some new ideas into the hopper. Hop, hop, hop. A rabbit hopped down the path. Hop, hop, hop. Hop, hop, hop. I was hoping you would read hopping.

The letter l in the words calf, half, calve, salve, and halve is a signal letter to make the vowel a short. Without the l calve would look like cave, and salve would look like save!

138-B Is it time for a quiz? I think it is. Ready for the quiz? I just love to give quizzes. You love to take quizzes. Right? When you get quizzed, you don’t get nervous, do you? My math teacher used to be quizzing us all the time. The jet went whizzing over our heads. The police car whizzed by us. Math whizzes do well on math quizzes. My friend Joel is a math whiz. He was a quiz kid.

izz fizz fizzes fizzed fizz fizzy fizzies

I like to drink drinks that fizz. I love the way Vernors Gingerale fizzes. The soda first fizzed and then it went flat. I just love the fizz of soda pop, especially Vernors. Any fizzy drink I love to drink. I even like to drink those made with little fizzies.

is (iz) is isn’t ’tis it’s he’s she’s what’s that’s here’s there’s where’s when’s who’s how’s Tom’s

We all know the word is rhymes with his, quiz, and fizz. It just isn’t fair the way we have to spell our words just so. ’Tis the season to be jolly means it is. We can contract it and is to make ’tis. “Our country ’tis of thee...” It’s a good thing we have apostrophes to show we scrunched up words together. It is. Really. If he is smart, then he’s smart. If she’s smart, then she is smart, most definitely smart. If you want to know what is the matter with him, just ask him “What’s the matter?” That’s nice, if that is the truth. “Here is Johnny” doesn’t sound as good as “H-e-r-e’s Johnny!” There’s no good way to do it. If there is, tell me. Where’s the fire? I said, “Where is the fire?” When’s he coming to town. When is Santa coming to town? Who’s Santa? Who is Santa? Whose presents are these? How’s it going? How is it going? Tom’s my brother. Tom is my brother. I like Tom’s brother.
