Jen plays
Susan Blackaby
- Reading
- Read a short section together, pausing to name Jen’s action and the game. Let your child connect familiar ball games to the example, then see whether the remaining pages add other pairings.
- Themes
- Play and ball games: Jen’s use of a ball is paired with the game being played; kicking in kickball is the example given. The premise connects an action with a game, but does not establish a broader judgement about play or any particular game.
- Worth knowing
- The example involves kicking a ball during kickball. If your child is unfamiliar with the game, you may want to explain its name as you read; further details of play are not clear.
