In Ms. Lee's sunny classroom, children sat in a circle on the rug.

Today was Leggere's turn to read aloud from her favorite book.

Leggere felt both excited and nervous, clutching 'The Little Red Hen'.

As she read, she stumbled over a tricky word: 'wheat'.

Her classmates waited patiently, smiles instead of giggles.

Encouraged, Leggere tried again and got it right!

Ms. Lee praised her effort, and her classmates clapped.

Buoyed by their support, she continued to read fluently.

They reached the end and discussed the story's moral.

Leggere realized that hard work and courage pay off.

They all picked new books for next time, excitedly chatting.

Reading time was over, but the adventure just began.
