WELCOME UNIT Part 3 Reading for Writing & Building UP Your Vocabulary 课后提升练 I.阅读理解 A （2018浙江湖州期中，★★） At first sight, Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom. Broken shoes, a little bit of dirt behind his ear. On closer inspection, though, the dirt on. Ronny’s face told me he didn’t get dirty at school. I worked with all the students on one-on-one basis to improve their reading skills. Each day, Ronny’s eyes followed me as I set up in a corner, “Pick me!” When it was Ronny’s turn, he’d run room immediately. He tried to sound “Bud the Sub.” It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his speech impediment. At the end of this year, I gave him a book as an award for his improvement in reading. Tears rolled down his face, together with the dirt as he held the book tightly to his chest.
