The Boy Who Drew His Words

Story retold · The KnotdKids reading team · For readers in Primary 2 · Three parts · 6 minutes to read

You do not need words to be kind

Free

Leo is new, and he does not say one word, because every word he knows is in a different language. Ken asks him to play, then asks louder, then gives up. Meg sits down next to him and draws a football with a question mark beside it. The new word is gestures.

This is one of six books that are free to read, one for every year group. The other 54 come with a plan — HKD 79 a month, cancel any time.

Who is in the story

Before we begin

A new boy called Leo joins the class. He is not rude and he is not shy. He just does not know English yet.

Watch what Ken does and what Meg does. They both go over to Leo. Only one of them uses words.

The new word is gestures. It means the things you say with your hands and face instead of words.
