Reading Signs and Labels

Words Are All Around Us

You can find words everywhere—in your classroom, at the store, or on the playground. Reading signs and labels helps you know where to go and what things are.

Real-Life Reading

  • Look for EXIT signs, labels on your snack, or words on a bus stop.
  • Try to read the words you see every day.

Why It Matters

Reading signs helps you stay safe, find your way, and understand your world.

Examples

  • Read the label on your backpack to find your name.

  • Find the bathroom sign in a new place.
