earn some money
this summer?
You can become an

business.
Fill in the missing vowels

can start this summer!
An entrepreneur (on-trah-preh-nyur) is a person
who sees a way to earn some money by solving a
particular problem.
For example, lots of kids have learned that thirsty
people on hot days will pay for a cold glass of
lemonade.

everyone. Often times kids can’t get jobs because they are too young.

ways of earning some cash. Some kids, like Jason, turn doing
something they love into a way of earning money.
Look at each of the following pictures. Write down ways a
business you could start might be able to help.
