Long a – Reading 1

Fay and Jane like to play at the lake. One day, they made a maze in the hay. On the same day, they had rain and hail, so Fay and Jane ran back to play games.

“I will win, and you will fail,” said Jane.

“You are vain,” said Fay. “I may not play.”

“Wait, wait!” said Jane. I will bake a cake. Will you stay?

“I will stay if you bake a cake, but if you are vain, I don’t want to play,” said Fay.

“Yay! Yay!” said Jane.

Jane and Fay will play and bake a cake. It rained, but today is a good day.

*”said” is a sight word. (It sounds like “sed.”)

Max and Jay sat at the lake by the bay. Max went away, and then came back. Jay had Max’s bag.

“Don’t make me mad!” said Max “If you take my bag, I will make you late. I will throw your hat in the lake!”

“It’s okay!” said Jay. “I want to play with your maze! May I play?

Max gave Jay the maze, and they sat by the lake and played and played.

“The day is gray, and maybe it will rain,” said Max. “We can not stay and play. Let’s go back. We can talk on the way.”
