Nadia wanted to do well in her class spelling bee.
Every night for two weeks, her big brother, Omar, read spelling words to her while she dried the dishes.
Some words were hard for Nadia, like the word because. So Omar made up a short song with the letters in it, and they sang it together.
On the day of the spelling bee, Nadia’s hands were shaking. Then her teacher said, “Your word is because.”
Nadia closed her eyes and sang the song in her head. She spelled the word without a mistake.
Nadia came in second place. When she got home, the first thing she did was give Omar a big hug.
Choose the best answer.
Why does Nadia hug Omar when she gets home?
