Which Tree Is It? Leila Reads a Leaf Guide

Read with a purpose to find out where a leaf came from.

Read with a purpose

Before you read: read to find out what kind of tree Leila's leaf came from.

The Fan-Shaped Leaf

1On Saturday morning, Leila and her grandpa walked to Cedar Street Park. Leila's teacher had asked each student to bring in one leaf and find out what kind of tree it came from. Leila carried a paper bag and a small leaf guide from school.

2Under a tall tree, Leila spotted a bright yellow leaf. It was shaped like a little fan, with no points at all. "Let's read the guide to find out what it is," said Grandpa.

3Leila read each part of the guide slowly. She looked at the shape of her leaf first, and then she checked its color. "It's a ginkgo!" she said.

4As she put the leaf in her bag, something twirled down from another tree like a tiny helicopter. Leila picked it up. It was a seed with one thin wing. She smiled, because the guide had already told her where it came from.
