As Leo bit into the cookie, he glanced at the tablet. The six elves were waving goodbye, but Main Idea Max held up one last sign:
āReading isnāt about finding answers. Itās about finding stories. And you, Leo, just wrote your own.ā Daily Reading Comprehension Grade 4 Evan Moor Pdf

He found the answer. The PDF beeped happily. Correct!

Guess the answers. Donāt read the whole thing.ā Inference Izzy jumped in front of Leoās eyes. āSTOP!ā she shouted. āThe answer isnāt written directly! You have to use clues! The bakerās face was āflour-dusted and smilingāāwhat does that tell you?ā Leo paused. āThat⦠she was happy with the accident?ā DING! The PDF glowed gold.
