English Language Arts aaSession 1, Reading Selection #2a2 Often, little brothers and sisters can be very helpful to each other. Read this selection about how Kelly’s little sister helped him with the clam tide. Use information from the selection to answer the questions that follow. Clam Tide by Kristine L. Franklin 040015L C Art Code 040015L.AR1 1 “Clam tide!” my brother yelled as he leaped out of bed and threw on his clothes. I got up and peeked out the window. The water was so far out that it looked like a shiny silver line beyond the beach. 2 “Can I go” I asked, stifling a yawn and trying hard to look wide awake. 3 “Naw,” he said. He laced up his old tennis shoes . “It’s hard work, and you’re too little .” The door banged as he rushed out. 4 “Mama-a-a!” I hollered in my loudest, saddest voice . “Kelly won’t take me clam digging.” I started to cry because I was disappointed, but mostly because I was mad at my brother. 5 Soon I was following him down to the tide flats. I had to walk fast, because now my brother was mad at me. He swung the bucket in one hand and held the clam shovel in the other, and I could tell by the way he took giant steps that he wished I was home. But Mom had said I could go. 6 “Hurry up,” he said, without turning around . “The tide won’t stay out all day, you know.” When we got to the edge of the beach, the ground was covered with rocks and smelled like rotten seaweed and dead barnacles. We hiked down the slope toward the water. 7 Beyond the rocky beach the tide flats were muddy. It was the oozy kind of mud that sucks off your shoes if you stand too long in one place. I had a hard time hurrying through that stuff, and so did Kelly. Once, he had to stop and slowly, carefully pull his foot up so he wouldn’t lose a shoe. I giggled at the sound it made coming out. My brother gave me a nasty look. 8 After that his feet kept getting stuck, so he tried tiptoeing across the mud. Next he tried hopping. Then he tried running fast with little tiny steps. I followed him, imitating everything he did. 9 By the time we got to the clam-digging place, we were covered with blobs and splatters and teeny freckles of stinky black mud. My side hurt. I don’t know if it was from running or from too much laughing. 10 Kelly put one foot on the clam shovel and pushed it hard into the mud. “When I bring up a shovelful, your job is to look for clams.” My brother liked to give me jobs. He heaved a huge, dripping pile of muck in front of me. It plopped all over my shoes.
