Bringing Reading Skills Beyond the Classroom

Reading is not just for school—it's a big part of your daily life. You use reading skills when you follow instructions, enjoy stories, or learn about the world around you.

Practical Uses

  • Reading street signs and directions.
  • Understanding instructions for building a model or playing a new game.
  • Finding information online for a school project.

Why It Matters

The more you read, the more confident and independent you become!

Examples

  • Following steps in a recipe to bake cookies.

  • Reading a comic book for fun.
