Speed Reading — Thai Cave Rescue - Level 0 — 300 wpm 

Now do this put-the-text-back-together activity.

This is the text (if you need help).

Twelve boys and their football coach trapped in a Thai cave are safe. They were missing for nine days. No one knew if they were safe. The boys and their coach went missing on June 23. The cave was dry when they went in. Heavy rain blocked the exit to the cave. The cave flooded and trapped the boys and their coach.

The team could be in the cave for four months, until the water goes down. The boys could learn to dive, but they can't swim. Rescuers will take food and medicine to them. They will put power and telephones in the cave. Rescuers said the boys were very hungry. A mother said: "I'm so happy I can't put it into words."
