At bedtime, he doesn’t like turning off his lights. When the room gets dark, it feels big and scary. It doesn't seem like it's his room anymore! All Jackson can see is shadows, and Jackson worries about what might be hiding in them. His chair looks like a monster, and his pile of clothes looks like a ghost! Even though he knows it’s just his things, the dark makes everything look different. He tries to tell himself it’s nothing, but it still feels scary.  \nAt night, little noises sound much louder to Jackson. The creak of his closet door makes him freeze under his blanket. He hears the wind blowing outside, and it sounds like people. Sometimes, tree branches tap on his window. His heart beats fast, and he pulls his blanket up to his chin. Jackson wishes the noises would stop and that the room would feel normal again.  \nTonight, Jackson’s mom gave him something new: anightlight! The nightlight is shaped like a soccer ball. It glowsin the corner of his room. Jackson still feels nervous, but he’s glad to have a little bit of light. He squeezes his stuffed bear. Even though he still feels scared, he tries his best to also be brave.  \nThen answer the questions:  \n1. What is the main idea of this story?  \na. Jackson is tired.  \nb. It is stormy outside.  \nc. Jackson is afraid of the dark.  \n2. Which detail helps explain the main idea?  \na. Jackson’s room feels scary when the lights are off.  \nb.
