Introduction

Reading is the skill of understanding written words and sentences.

What is Reading?

• Looking at Words: When you read, you look at words on a page or a screen.
• Understanding Stories: Reading helps you understand stories, information, and new ideas.
• Finding Information: You can read to find out about different things like animals, countries, or how things work.

How Do We Read?

Reading is like solving a puzzle:

1. Start at the Beginning: Begin reading from the top left of the page.
2. Read Word by Word: Go from left to right, one word at a time.
3. Understand the Meaning: Think about what the words are telling you.
