Jr.’s birthday on January 15. Others are more obscure—like the first Academy
Award presentation on May 16. All stories are well-written, concise and
present reading levels at 3rd to 4th grade. Corresponding activity pages
assess reading comprehension skills. . Stories and activities can be
photocopied or printed from the PDF.
