Week 1 Fluency Practice
The Best on the Planet
Alf’s backpack went bump, bump, bump as he ran.
He spotted his pal Frits and ran up to him.
“Let’s run to second grade,” said Alf.
“Last kid to class is a rotten egg.”
“O.K.!” said Frits.
Alf and Frits ran fast,
up the block,
past the bus stop,
and up the steps,
Zip! Zip! Zip!
At last, the pals got to class and skidded to a stop.
“I win,” panted Alf. “I am the fastest kid on the planet!”
“O.K.,” said Frits. “But I am the second fastest kid on
the planet.”
“And I am Ms. Blossom,” said Ms. Blossom. “And my
class is the best second grade on the planet!”

Ms. Blossom’s Flag
“O.K., class,” said Ms. Blossom. “Let’s stand up and stretch.”
“That’s a bit odd,” said Doc to Cass.
“Pretend you are a plant,” said Ms. Blossom. “You have a
stem. It is your back. Stretch it up and lift your fists.”
“Next, pretend your fist is the bud. Then POP! The bud pops
into a big blossom.”
Pop, pop, pop went the Superkids’ hands. “Pop! Pop! Pop!”
the Superkids said.
“That is splendid,” said Ms. Blossom.
“Just splendid. You will stretch yourself
here in second grade, just as you can
stretch your back and hands.
And when you do the best
you can, you will …”
But Ms. Blossom
did not finish. She just
held up a flag. The flag said:

Week 3 Fluency Practice
Bugging
“This is a very good day to plant your new bulbs,”
said Ms. Blossom. “Let’s go!”
As the Superkids left the class, Alf began to bug
Ettabetta. He pretended that his hand was a bumblebee.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz,” he said. He began to tickle
Ettabetta. “This bee can sting you.”
And with a little pinch, Alf’s bee stung Ettabetta’s neck.
“Cut it out,” said Ettabetta.
She batted at Alf’s hand. But Alf kept buzzing at
Ettabetta and pinching her neck.
“Quit it, Alf,” she said. “Just stop bugging me.”
But Alf did not stop acting like a pest.
Ettabetta got mad. Ettabetta kept batting at his hand
until at last—WHACK! She hit him on the chin.
And THUD! He fell on his bottom
with a THUMP!
The class got very, very still.
“Gosh,” said Doc with a gasp.
“What will Ms. Blossom do?”

Week 4 Fluency Practice
A Little Bit, a Little Bite
“Icky, I cannot let you toss your lunch into the trash,”
Ms. Blossom said.
“But Ms. Blossom,” said Icky. “I don’t like it.”
“Well, how can you tell if you didn’t even try it,” said
Ms. Blossom. “Come sit next to me. I have an idea. You
cut up this sandwich into little squares while I cut up the
apple, banana, and grapes.”
Ms. Blossom made the fruit into fruit salad. Then she got
Icky a carton of milk and handed him a plastic fork.
“Try your lunch now,” she said.
It felt funny to eat a sandwich with a fork, but at least
Icky’s hands didn’t get sticky.
After just three bites, Icky had to admit that the
sandwich was not bad. The milk was quite good, and the
fruit salad was fantastic.
Before long, Icky had eaten his whole lunch!
“Thank you, Ms. Blossom,” he said. “That
lunch was really pretty good.”
“It’s best to try new things a little bit
at a time,” said Ms. Blossom.
“Or a little bite at a time!” said Icky
with a smile.
