Reading Skills for Today's Adults

Todd has a desk job. He is at his desk most of the day. He thinks of ways to walk at work. He wants to be healthy.

Todd needs to bring a letter to the copy center. It is three floors up from his office. He uses the stairs. Rick, who works in the copy center, sees Todd come up the stairs. “Why did you use the stairs?” he asks.

​

“I spend a lot of time at my desk. I look for ways to walk while I’m at work. 

I use the stairs, and I walk on my breaks and lunch hour. I feel better when I walk.”    

“What a good idea. Can I walk with you at lunch?” asks Rick.  

“Sure,” says Todd.
