Reading Text

The Blue Backpack: Part Two

After class, Sofia opens her blue backpack. Her notebook is there, but her red marker is not in the front pocket. Leo sees a marker on Ana's desk. He asks, "Is this Sofia's marker?" Ana answers, "No, this marker is mine. Sofia's marker is on the teacher's table." Daniel points to the table. There are two markers: one red and one green. Sofia says, "The red marker is mine, and the green marker is the teacher's." The teacher smiles and says, "Good work. You can use English to solve small classroom problems." Then Leo writes his name, age, and phone number on a class card. Sofia helps him spell his last name.
