Grandpa's birthday Reading Test

                    Grandpa’s Birthday.

Yesterday it was Grandpa’s birthday so Tessa and Susie’s mother cooked a special dinner for Grandpa and Grandma. The girls helped their mother. Tessa prepared some vegetables and Susie helped Mother cook some chicken. The food smelled delicious.

                   Then Tessa put some fruit in a bowl. First she put some oranges in the bowl. Then  she put in some strawberries. After that she put some grapes on top of the fruit in the bowl.

                   Susie laid the table for dinner. She put the bowl of fruit on the table. Next to the fruit bowl she put a vase of flowers and Grandpa’s birthday cake. Everything was ready.

                   At eight o’clock the girls heard the door open. Dad came in with Grandpa and Grandma. Then Uncle Jack, Uncle Jim and Aunt Kathy came. The whole family had a lovely meal.

                   After dinner, everyone sang Happy Birthday Dear Grandpa and gave him a birthday card and a present. Then in was time for the birthday cake. It was delicious. Grandpa told lots of stories and jokes. Everyone had a lovely time and the girls stayed up late.
