SAMPLE , Story 1 of 12

Alex ran in the sun. He got to the hill and ran up. His leg felt hot. At the top, Alex sat and took a sip from his cup. "I did it!" he said. He ran back down the hill. The wind hit his hat. Alex got to the end and sat on the sand. It was a good run.

In the PDF, every story uses the placeholder “[name]” that you can fill in with your child's name before printing.
