At Home (Great Stories: Beginner): Wayzgoose Graded Readers

By Shelley Hale Lee

In the Kasongo family, Binwa works hard at her job and in her home. She is tired. Will her husband and kids help, so she can get some rest? The Kasongos need a new sofa and chairs, but furniture is expensive. What can they do? Joseph finished his first year of university. The family celebrated with a special dinner. Jerome hears a dripping tap in the kitchen. He can't fix it. Who can help?

 

The Park family lives in a small apartment. The neighbors are loud, the rent is expensive, and their twin daughters are not happy. Soo Jin wants to buy a house, but a house payment is a lot of money. How can they get more money? Will they find a new house?
