Playtime
My pal Shane is visiting today.
First, we play slime in the kitchen. He didn’t bring his, so I lend him mine.
Then Shane and I play a game of basketball. We only have one ball, so we take turns shooting at the hoop.
Next, we go to my room to make paper planes. I tell Shane that the key is to fold them well so they fly in a line.
But then, Mom walks in. She says play time is over. Now it is lunch time. ------------------------------- Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What happens in the story?
What is the name of the author's friend?
