Directions: Read the story smoothly and accurately. The number at the right of each line shows the total words read so far.
Pete has a pet snake, and Steve is his name. Steve has a huge 14
glass cage, and Pete locks the top so Steve will be safe inside. This 28
cage is a nice place with lots of space to glide. Steve can hide 42
next to big rocks and rest on the sandy dust. Pete sets up a big 57
plastic cactus and adds red fabric as a soft bed. Steve can sit in 71
the sunshine, but he is shy and will hide his face in the shade. At 86
his age, his skin sheds fast and his scales change and slip off twice. 100
This is strange, but Pete is calm. It is not a bad panic, and 114
Steve has a fresh, fancy skin. Pete thinks 122
his pet is so nice. 127
