About This Passage
Mary Pope Osborne shows Jack putting two clues together. The short final sentence — 'Now, this was an amazing new fact' — sounds like a real scientist or detective speaking. Students will practice copying short, clear sentences that lead to a discovery.
He looked at the letter on it. It was the same M. Now, this was an amazing new fact.
