DAY 4
READ THE PASSAGE
Think about other things Connor would probably do for his sister.
Big Brother Connor
Connor is always the last one to say good night to his little sister. After Mom 
kisses Katy, Connor chases away the bedroom monsters. He dances around the 
room and waves an imaginary wand. Connor shouts, “Alakazee! Alakazam! All 
you monsters flee to Amsterdam!” Then he tickles Katy’s feet and tucks her in. 
Katy giggles as she says good night.
At breakfast, Connor pours cereal for Katy. When she spills her juice, Connor 
refills her cup. He tells her to eat all of her banana because it has lots of vitamins. 
After they eat, Connor helps Katy wash her hands. They brush their teeth 
together. “Let’s pretend our brushes are trains,” says Connor. “They’re chugging 
down teeth tracks.” 
Katy puts on her coat all by herself when it is time to play. She and Connor 
storm out the door. “Play ball!” Katy begs. She points to a big, soft ball in the yard.
