Story Comprehension: The Homemade Ball

When their ball is lost in a neighbour's locked garden, Babli resourcefully rolls scrap rags, paper, and wool to craft a new ball.

Why it matters. Learning how children create toys from simple scraps inspires creative thinking and reuse of everyday materials.

Recall the games played on the holiday: skipping rope, hide and seek, and bat and ball.
Notice why the game paused: the ball flew into Mohit's locked garden.
List what Babli used to make a new ball: cloth rags, scrap paper, wool, and string.
Enjoy the funny climax: Jeet hits the ball hard and Babli catches a flying rag to call 'OUT!'.

Try at home. Try rolling scrap paper inside an old sock and securing it with twine to make a soft indoor toss ball.

Opposite words have contrary meanings, while the conjunction 'and' connects words and sentences together smoothly.

Why it matters. Using opposites builds vocabulary contrast, and using 'and' helps children write longer, flowing sentences.

Match opposite pairs: hot/cold, small/big, open/close, up/down.
Combine two simple sentences: 'Jeet played' + 'Babli played' = 'Jeet and Babli played'.
Combine items in lists: 'I like mangoes and grapes'.
Notice how 'and' removes unnecessary repetition.

Try at home. Take two actions you did today and link them with 'and' into one sentence.

Words like egg, engine, and elephant begin with the short /e/ vowel sound and take the article 'an'.

Why it matters. Practicing short vowel sounds and article rules strengthens spelling accuracy and fluent reading.

Try at home. Find three objects around your home that have the short /e/ vowel sound like a pen or bed.
