Monroe was a fourth-grade student who loved to read, but he often struggled with the reading tests at school. His friends, Anthony and Robert, were always eager to help him practice and prepare for the big exams.

One day, their teacher, Mrs. Johnson, announced that there would be a reading test the following week. Monroe felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. He knew he needed to do well, but he wasn't sure if he was ready.

As the test day approached, Monroe spent every free moment he had studying. He read through his textbooks, practiced answering comprehension questions, and even asked his friends for help. Anthony and Robert were more than happy to quiz him and offer advice.

Finally, the day of the test arrived. Monroe took a deep breath and sat down at his desk, determined to do his best. As he read through the passages and answered the questions, he felt more confident than he had in the past.

When the test was over, Monroe waited anxiously for the results. A few days later, Mrs. Johnson called the class together to share the scores. To Monroe's delight, he had earned a high mark on the test, proving that all his hard work had paid off.

From that day on, Monroe continued to work hard and never gave up on his reading skills. He knew that with the support of his friends and the dedication to practice, he could overcome any challenge that came his way.
