READ THE PASSAGE
Look for clues that tell you about Sean.
Not-So-Speedy Sean
The third-graders call Sean “Speedy.” When Sean gets to school, he hurries 
out of the car. He runs up the stairs two at a time. And he comes to a sliding stop 
just outside the classroom door. Sean is the first one out the door at recess. He 
always eats his snack while heading to the playground. When the bell rings to 
come in, Sean beats everyone back to class.
Last week, Sean dragged his feet into the classroom. At recess, he sat on a 
playground bench. Sean gave his snack to a friend. Sean’s shoulders drooped, 
and his head hung down. His nose leaked like a dripping faucet. He coughed
with a rumble.
Sean’s teacher noticed his unusual behavior. She wondered if he had a fever. 
She walked over to the bench where Sean sat. She placed her hand on Sean’s 
forehead and then sent him to the school office. Sean was snoring softly when
his dad arrived to take him home.
