Read It Have your child read the passage below:

Snowball War

My pal Ray and I are having a snowball war with my sister. 

 

At first, my sister is winning.

 

She pelts us, one after the other.

 

I tell Ray to stay by my side and run.

 

We run back to the fort we made. We hide inside the fort as we work.

 

After we form a big stack, it's time to attack.

 

Ray throws one that just misses her, wide to the left. 

 

Now it's my turn. I throw a big one and it hits my sister smack in the chest.

 

Yes! This war is far from over, but for now we can yell and whoop!

------------------------------- Explain It

Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:


  1. What happened in the story?

  2. Where does the author go to make more snowballs?
