Decodable Passage 1

A Lap, a Cat Nap, and a Pal

Pam stands at the window and claps.

“Dad! Dad! I can see a van, and I can see a man in a tan cap. The man has a fat cat. Can I go and gab, Dad?” Pam asks.

Dad hangs up a damp rag and says, “Okay, Pam. I can go, too.”

Pam ran fast to the van. Pam says, “Hi. I am Pam. I saw your van and your cat.”

“I am Frank,” says the man in the tan cap. “And my cat is Max. This is our brand new home.” Dad and Frank shake hands.

“Can I pat Max?” asks Pam.

“You can pat Max,” Frank says. “Max is a fan of pats, and Max is a fan of laps, too.”

Pam had a plan.

Pam sat down, and Max sat on her lap. Max had a cat nap on Pam! Max is a fan of laps and naps! Pam, Frank, Dad, and Max are pals. Pam is glad.
