What We Can Do

Hi! My name is Jack, and this is my sister, Emily. We love doing fun activities together! Let us tell you what we can and can’t do.

I can jump high and run fast. Emily can jump, but she can’t run very fast. She says, “I like skipping more than running!” I can sing very well, but Emily can’t sing. She says, “My singing is bad, but I can play the guitar!” She plays the guitar so well!

We both can ride bikes and rollerblade. It’s fantastic! But we can’t fly. We laugh and say, “We’re not birds!” Emily can climb trees, but I can’t. I think climbing is scary! I can do a handstand, but Emily can’t. She says, “I’ll fall down!”

We both can swim, and we think swimming is fantastic! We can also walk and carry small things like books or toys. We have so much fun doing all these activities together. What can you do?
