I wondered how reading fiction would help, Miss Carmichael glared down her specs "Oh missy mind you now, do you need a skelp Dunnae' be a vixen." none in class dared vex. Yet Little Ralph, the distracted boy, peered out Miss Carmichael glared down her specs Now, something crawled and I let out a shout? And a small sound shattered the solitude Again, Little Ralph, the distracted boy, peered out. Several boys sniggered and then mischief brewed I realised Mark and Ralph had connived. And a small sound shattered the solitude! "Your eyes on your books", Miss Carmichael contrived To hush the boys, "Not a sound, look into your book!" But hadn't Mark and Ralph with the boys connived. Miss Carmichael glared at Mark, and Ralph shook, His left ear she took "Shhh..not a yelp!" She turned to the boys, "Not a sound, look into your book!" I wondered how reading fiction would help.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
