READ THE PASSAGE
See if you can tell what Casey may do next.
Casey Can
Casey is nearly 2 years old, and he loves to chatter. His favorite thing to say is, 
“Me do it!” That’s Casey’s answer when Mom wants to feed him some peas. 
That’s his response when Dad tries to pour him some milk. And it’s what Casey 
says when Mom wants to wash his face.
With a little help from Dad, Casey pours his own breakfast cereal. He tosses in 
a handful of berries, too. Then it’s time to get dressed. “Me do it!” insists Casey 
while Mom watches.
Casey pulls on his pants. The zipper is in the back. Then he tugs on his 
T-shirt. At first, he can’t figure out where to put his head. One sleeve sticks straight 
up. Then, Casey pokes his arm through the other sleeve and smiles with pride. He 
doesn’t know that the T-shirt’s tag is on the outside. Casey opens a drawer and 
pulls out two socks. He plops on the floor and yanks the socks on. One sock is 
red and one is white. “Me do it!” boasts Casey as he reaches for his shoes.
