The game's question
Say the missing words out loud together—the rhythm of the old reader will fill them in.
In first grade, many children learned to read with Dick and Jane. There was Dick, there was Jane, there was little Sally, and there was the family dog. The first sentences you read all by yourself went like this: “See … run! Run, …, run!” Both times, the missing word is the dog’s name. What was it?
- Lassie
- Spot
- Old Yeller
Need a hint?
The name is one short word that also means a small mark or dot—like a drop of ink on a clean page. Try saying the whole line out loud.

Answer: Spot—the dog of Dick, Jane, and Sally: “See Spot run! Run, Spot, run!”
Why this game : The first words you read alone stay with you: the classroom, the teacher’s voice, and the pride of turning the page by yourself.
