A. Circle the misspelled words in this passage. Write the words
correctly on the lines below.
Out in the barn, Eli found a leather bag. Inside was an old book. On the
cover was a lable: “Abe Jefferson, 1924.” Eli could see that it was a jurnle
that had belonged to his great-grandfather when he was just a boy. Eli read
the first entry: “This morning, I put the sadell on Lightning and went out to
round up the catel. In the distance, I could hear a terribal crash of thunder.
Severall minutes later, I saw the sky turn a greenish yellow. I wondered if a
tornado was coming….”
Eli turned the page. The rest of the book was empty. Eli put the journal in
the bag and headed back to the house. Maybe his grandmother would know
the end of the story.

It takes some effort and energy to be a spektater at our school’s
sporting events. Even though the athletes are the main attracion, we sing
songs, hold up signs, and learn loud cheers. Sometimes it can distrack the
other team’s players. I suspekt that this is why our teams win more often
when they play at home. Our main mishun is to boost their spirits. No

I didn’t want to miss it. After dark, I grabbed my bienoculars and headed out
