ID: l5-s5-r
READING
INTRO: Two more short readings — a store that sells everything, and the smallest state in the country. You'll pick a title for each one next.
CARD: **Paragraph 1.** One store at the Big Tree Mall sells everything. It's called Dilley's Department Store. You can buy clothes, furniture, books, and many other things there. It's my favorite store because you don't have to go from one store to another for things. You can get it all from Dilley's. Dilley's is very popular with lots of people.
CARD: **Paragraph 2.** Rhode Island is the smallest state in the country, but over 900,000 people live there. Most of these people live and work in the cities. Rhode Island is on the Atlantic coast and has good weather. The temperature in July is usually about 69 degrees. Because temperatures in some of the other states on the Atlantic coast are very high in the summer, many people go to Rhode Island for their summer vacations. It's a popular place in July.
