Level 2 Fiction – The Missing Ball

Ben and Leo arrive ready to play, but their football is gone. As they search and talk it through, small misunderstandings surface before they figure out what really happened.

Written for readers around ages 7 to 8, this story uses natural dialogue, clear cause and effect, and slightly longer sentences to support fluency and deeper understanding. The age range is flexible.

The guide helps you notice how reading is going. It is not there to test or correct.
