My Sister Is a Pest
My sister is a pest.
I jot down a list of all the ways she pesters me:
1. She pinches.
2. She yells.
3. She sings too much.
4. She chatters non-stop.
And yesterday, she put pink stickers on my lunch box.
When I go to tell on her, she runs away fast.
Is it all a test?
I can't say, but she won’t give it a rest.
My sister is just such a pest. ------------------------------- Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What makes the sister a pest?
What other words could you use to describe the sister?
