My best friend is called Kyle



Reading _/10

‘Kyle and me’

by Jane Wheeler

I’m Jane and this is my best friend, Kyle. Kyle can’t walk. He uses a wheelchair, but he’s hardly ever grumpy. He’s kind and confident and he’s always smiling. After school, we like playing computer games and reading comics. We’re writing a comic together at the moment; Kyle writes the story and I draw the pictures. His favourite comics are the old DC comics about Batman and Spiderman. Sometimes we play games in my garden. We pretend his wheelchair is Batman’s car – the Batmobile! Kyle is very creative; he loves painting and twice a week he plays the guitar in a band, too. We also like sport; I like doing karate, but Kyle prefers playing basketball.
