Reading an integer into a local variable in MIPS

How can I read an integer into a local variable in MIPS?

The problem asks me to use the concept of assigning integer variables as local variables. (A question from my text book.)

li $v0, 5              # MARS/SPIM call number 5: read int
syscall                # return value in $v0
move $t0, $v0

The value is now in $t0. This will read the integer from the console.

"local variables" in asm can be registers or stack space.
