Reading - My Secret Hero Family

Read the text and complete the activities below.

Hello! My name is Leo and I have a very special secret. My family is not a normal family. We are a family of superheroes! We live in a small, quiet house in a big city, but we have very big powers. Every morning, we eat breakfast together and then we go out to help people in need. My family believes that helping others is the most important job in the world, and we love our secret lives.

My father’s name is "Mega-Man." He is a very tall man with big muscles. He is incredibly strong and he can lift heavy cars with only one hand! My mother is "Speedy." She is a very fast woman. She can run to the supermarket and back home in only two seconds! They are both very brave and they are never afraid of danger. They always fight against the bad people in our city to keep everyone safe and happy.

I am the youngest in the family, and my hero name is "Small-Boy." I am not strong like my father and I am not fast like my mother. However, I have a very cool power: I can become invisible! This means nobody can see me when I want to hide. I can hide from the villains and listen to their secret plans. We all wear colorful costumes with the colors red, blue, and yellow. Being a superhero is a lot of hard work, but it is also very exciting!
