Milo the Kitten

Source written for Revision Library (original, copyright-free). Written for KS1 grammar and word type practice, July 2026.

Milo is a small, fluffy kitten. He lives with Mrs Patel in a cosy flat in Leeds.

Every morning, Milo jumps onto the warm windowsill and watches the birds in the garden. Mrs Patel gives Milo a bowl of milk and some tasty fish.

Milo is tired, but he does not want to sleep yet. He wants to play because he loves his red ball.

'Good night, Milo!' says Mrs Patel.

Can you find Milo's favourite toy? Milo pushes the ball across the kitchen floor. He is a very playful kitten!
