Mentor Text:<br />

Amber on the Mountain by Tony Johnston<br />

Sometimes Amber read a few words. Then she stumbled. Sometimes she forgot the words and<br />

had to start all over. She was so eager; she hurried and tangled the words like quilting thread.<br />

“Drat!” Amber grumbled. “I plain can’t do this!”<br />

My Ol’ Man by Patricia Polacco<br />

“Sales are down. Times are hard. Varney had to let me go today,” Da said as he tried to smile.<br />

“I couldn’t believe it,” my dad fired!<br />

“We’ll get by William,” my gramma said softly as she touched his hand.<br />

Under the Quilt of Darkness by Deborah Hopkinson<br />

“Freedom!” I take a deep breath and when I let it go my voice flies up in a song. My own song<br />

of running in sunshine and dancing through fields. I’ll jump every fence in my way.<br />
