The $20.00 Bill   Directions: Read the story. Then answer the questions below.     It is Levi’s birthday. He has a party at home with his family. Everyone sings, “Happy Birthday!” Levi has nine candles on his cake. He blows them out. He opens his presents. Levi’s mother and father give him a bicycle.      Levi’s little sister gives him a game. Levi’s uncle gives him a baseball jersey. Levi’s grandma and grandpa give him 20 dollars! "Thank you!" he yells to everyone. Levi is excited. He likes all his presents. He likes the 20 dollars best. It means he can go to the store. He can buy anything he wants! “Can we go to the store now, Mom?” asks Levi.        Mom frowns. “Levi, your guests are still here. I will take you to the store tomorrow.” That night, Levi dreams of all the things he might buy with his 20 dollars. Maybe I will buy a video game! Maybe I will buy a guitar! Maybe I will buy a camera! Maybe I will buy a tool kit! In the morning, Mom takes Levi and his little sister to the store.   “Will you buy me something, too?” asks Levi’s little sister. “Maybe,” Levi says. He runs to look around the store. Ugh! The guitar costs more than 20 dollars. The video game costs more than 20 dollars. The camera costs more than 20 dollars. The tool kit costs 12 dollars. Levi buys the tool kit. He buys his little sister a key chain. He buys his mom a pack of gum. “You are a sweet boy,” Levi’s mom tells him.

Most stories have a historical context because it helps the reader fully understand the story.    Finding historical context in the story is easy. You must find the words that describe the place and time that the story takes place.

A subject and predicate are needed in order for a sentence to make sense.    The subject tells who or what the sentence is about and the predicate describes what the subject is doing. To find the subject you need to find the verb and ask who or what is doing the action stated by the verb.    When you answer this question you have found the subject! The predicate will always tell you what action the subject is performing. Subject    Example: My dad is going to work.                      Who is going to work? Dad is going to work. Predicate    Example: We are going to see a movie soon.                      What are we doing? Going to see a movie soon.    In the following sentences circle the subject and underline the predicate.    1. The car was almost fixed.    2. My dog likes to play in the yard.    3. She can be very nice sometimes.    4. Mother is going to the market for lunch.    5. Buying shoes can be hard with no money.
