Practical Applications

Reading in Everyday Life

Using Reading All Around You

Reading isn’t just for storybooks! You use your reading skills everywhere, from the grocery store to the playground.

Following Signs

Reading signs helps you know where to go and what to do, like stopping at a stop sign or finding the restroom.

Reading Labels and Lists

At home or in a store, reading labels tells you what’s in a box or bag. Reading lists helps you remember what you need to buy or do.

Why It’s Important

Being able to read in everyday places keeps you safe, helps you learn, and lets you join in on fun activities!

Examples

  • Reading a sign that says 'Playground' at the park.

  • Looking at a cereal box to see what kind it is.
