Have your child read the passage below:
I Saw a Flaw
My brother Wade leans over and pokes me in the side.
He speaks softly and whispers, “I have a plan to get extra candy. Just follow my lead.”
“Sorry,” I reply, “but that plan will never work.”
“Why not?” he asks.
I point to three flaws:
Flaw 1: Mommy and Daddy never let us eat extra candy, even if we are good.
Flaw 2: Wade and I have not been good today. We didn't make the beds or help clean up after lunch.
Flaw 3: There is no more candy. We ate the last of it yesterday!

Explain It

What does Wade want?
