Early readers appreciate learning that "Penelope" means "Weaver" — it gives them a narrative about themselves that feels sophisticated and personal. Penelope's patient nature means she engages deeply with stories that match her personality, and her faithful approach to reading challenges means she pushes through difficult passages because the story is about her.

Make it personal: Ask Penelope to journal after reading: "What would you change about the story? What faithful thing would you do differently?"
