Achieve 3000

Yesterday, I had a science project due in first period. My science teacher is very strict about being on time to class at 8 a.m., especially when we have a project due. However, that morning, I slept through my alarm and woke up late! At 7:45, I was ready to leave and thought I could still make it in time. My mom and I got in the car and started heading to school, but we got stuck in a jam caused by a wreck. There were so many cars, we didn't move for 30 minutes! When I got to school, I was nervous that my teacher would count me absent, but turns out he was stuck behind all of those cars, too!

The word "jam" in this paragraph means:

a. tie in a knot

b. sweet paste made from fruit

c. cars stuck in traffic

d. put something in a space too small for it

1. Do your best! If you truly try your hardest on each Achieve article, reading will become easier for you each week.

2. Take your time. We have additional assignments after the article; there is no reason to rush.

3. Work silently; this is how you show respect for your success and the success of others.
