oa oo oo ow
We meet Joan at the zoo. She keeps the big cats fit. She can tell us how the zoo runs.
2
The coat on this cat looks good.
3
“Now and then the big cats fight,” Joan tells us. “It is not cool to keep a big cat as a pet.” 4
We go and see the cow. “How is the hoof?” said Joan. “Good,” said the vet. “But the owl is in a bad mood.”
5
“You can pet a goat at this zoo,” Joan tells us. “And a toad too!” 6
“Now, join me down at the pool,” said Joan.
7
“They need a lot of food,” said Joan. 8
Comprehension Questions: 1. What is Joan’s job at the zoo? 2. What kind of animals can you pet at the zoo? 3. Which animal was in a bad mood? Each series has been written with a slightly different progression to offer reading opportunities at more stages. Phase 3
