1Read the excerpt from 'Coquí's Special Concert': As twilight settled over El Yunque rainforest, nine-year-old Sofia walked quietly along the damp stone path. The air smelled of rain and sweet white ginger flowers. Suddenly, a tiny chirping sound echoed from under a broad palm leaf: 'Co-quí! Co-quí!' Sofia knelt down and held out her hand gently. She had read in her science book that the golden tree frog was rare and timid. Sofia stayed perfectly still because she wanted to see the tiny creature without scaring it away into the dense brush. Based on the excerpt, why does Sofia stay perfectly still on the stone path?
2Read the excerpt from 'Coquí's Special Concert': Sofia watched in wonder as the tiny frog hopped onto a mossy rock. Though no bigger than a thumbnail, its voice filled the quiet forest with a clear, cheerful song. Sofia realized that even the smallest living things in nature have a special role to play and can bring great happiness to those who listen carefully. She promised herself to protect the rainforest and its creatures. Which sentence best expresses the central theme of this story?
3Read the excerpt from 'Coquí's Special Concert': As twilight settled over El Yunque rainforest, nine-year-old Sofia walked quietly along the damp stone path. The air smelled of rain and sweet white ginger flowers. Where does this story take place?
4Read the excerpt from 'Coquí's Special Concert': Sofia held her breath, her eyes wide with excitement. A bright smile spread across her face as the frog chirped its rhythmic song. She felt as though she were listening to a private lullaby written just for her. How does Sofia feel while listening to the frog?

7Read the excerpt from 'The Kite on Luquillo Beach': Mateo and his sister Camila sat on the wooden porch with supplies spread around them.

What material did Mateo and Camila use for the tail of the kite?
8Read the excerpt from 'The Kite on Luquillo Beach': When they arrived at Luquillo Beach, a strong ocean gust suddenly snapped the kite's top frame stick. Camila gasped, thinking their day was ruined. Mateo quickly searched his backpack, pulled out a roll of strong yellow tape, and wrapped it neatly around the cracked stick until it was firm again. How did Mateo solve the problem of the broken kite stick?
9Read the excerpt from 'The Kite on Luquillo Beach': Even after the wind knocked the kite down twice, Camila did not complain. She picked it up, smoothed the red paper, and ran across the sand again until the wind caught the kite and carried it into the blue sky. Which word best describes Camila in this passage?
