16 Sometimes shipwrecks are easy to find. The ship can be seen
27 from the water’s surface, like the shipwreck below.
35 But sometimes the ship sinks in very deep water. Then people
46 have to spend a lot of time looking for it. They have to search
60 vast areas of water.
64 First, searchers find out where the ships sank. Then, divers go
75 into the ocean to get a closer look.
83 Submarines also help with the search. Searchers use cameras,

People used the telegraph before the telephone was
8 invented. They could send messages quickly. But the messages
17 were sent in electric codes over wires.
24 People wanted a way to talk to someone far away. Then
35 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.
41 Alexander Graham Bell taught deaf children. He knew a lot
51 about how people speak and how they hear. He used what he
63 knew to invent a telephone.
68 Bell worked on his telephone design for many years. He
78 made the first telephone call in 1876. His helper, Thomas
87 Watson, was in a room next door. Watson heard Bell say,
98 “Mr. Watson, come here! I need you!” 105

9 writing. Sometimes seeing the art from a book can bring back
20 the memories of wonderful stories.
25 What would Charlotte’s Web or Where the Wild Things Are be
36 like without pictures? They would be good to read, but they
47 might not be as much fun.
53 Being an illustrator may seem like a glamorous job. But it
64 is work that must be done with care. Illustrators have to learn
76 how to draw well. They need to be able to draw many different
89 things.
90 Sometimes a book’s author and illustrator are the same
99 person. But often they are not. Sometimes the author writes
109 the story first. Then the illustrator creates the art. 118

Pumpkins grow from seeds. There are hundreds of seeds in a
11 pumpkin. You can roast the seeds and eat them. They are a
23 crunchy, healthy snack.
26 Pumpkins are big. They need a lot of space between plants to
38 grow. They need a lot of water and sunlight, too.
48 First the seeds are planted. Then the seedling grows. The
58 first leaves grow two to three weeks after planting.
67 Next, the seedling’s slightly prickly stem grows deeper into
76 the ground. Then the plant grows bigger leaves. A few weeks later,
88 the plant is blooming. Flowers pop open.

Draw a line to break each word into syllables. Then
match the word to the picture it names.
1. acorn

2. photo
3. robot
4. spider
5. tiger
6. zero
Knowing about different kinds of syllables can help you read
words with more than one syllable.
When a syllable ends in a vowel, the sound of the vowel is
usually long. This kind of syllable is called an open syllable.
Example: tulip tu / lip
In the word tulip, the first syllable is t ⁄ u ⁄. The syllable t ⁄ u ⁄ is
open and the sound of the vowel u is long.
