Remember: Your fingers learn a name like a tune. A name is yours to share with care, so online, ask a grown-up first.

Read and answer

Read the story, then answer.

Ines and the blue lunchboxesInes went to a picnic in the park with her grandpa, Abuelo Pablo, and Rocket the rabbit. Ten children had brought ten blue lunchboxes, all alike, and Ines opened one that was full of jam sandwiches. She did not like jam! Abuelo Pablo had an idea: a name label on every box. At home, Ines typed her four-letter name, i, n, e, s. She looked at the whole name first, and then her fingers rolled. A name starts with a capital letter, but today we type names in small letters. At the next picnic Ines found her box right away. The jam sandwiches went to Leo, who loved jam.
