Suggested lesson plan for "Check out St. Louis Sports Commission's Sports for Kids"

This is a short article and one that consists of definitions and directions. Have the young reader read the article aloud to you. Help out with any words as needed to keep the reading fluent. After the reading, ask the young reader to explain in his or her own words each of the six parts of the Sports for Kids program. (You give the name of each part and ask the child to tell what he or she remembers about it.) Finally, ask if any of these six parts of the program would help out with a specific sports activity the child might be involved in. If appropriate, ask how or why this part of the Sports for Kids Program would help his or her specific activity.
