Ravi's New Glasses

1Ravi could not read the board at school. The letters looked blurry, all fuzzy and smudged. He began to squint. He made his eyes small and tight.

2At the eye doctor, Dr. Lin pointed to a chart. It had rows of letters, from big to tiny. Ravi read the big letters with ease. It was not hard at all.

3Ravi chose sturdy green frames. They were strong and would not bend or break. Frames are the part of glasses that sits on your nose and ears.

4The next day, Ravi wore his glasses to school. He could see every letter on the board. Ravi beamed. He smiled from ear to ear.

Read paragraph 1. What does the word blurry mean?
