What Is Reading?

Reading means looking at words and turning them into pictures in your mind.
When you read a story, you hear the characters’ voices and see the places they visit.

It lets you talk about books with friends and answer questions from teachers.

Simple Tips

  • Point To Each Word as you say it out loud.
  • Ask Yourself “Who?” “What?” “Where?” after each page.
  • Talk About The Story with a grown‑up or a buddy.
