Talking Points
- Reading is like exploring a new Lego set: Just like building a Lego set, reading a story helps you discover new worlds and characters.
- Words are like Lego bricks: Each word in a story is like a Lego brick that builds the structure of the narrative.
- Imagination is key: When reading, use your imagination to visualize the scenes in your mind, just like when you build with Lego.
- Practice makes perfect: The more you read and engage with stories, the better you become at understanding and enjoying them.
- Have fun with reading: Just like playing with Lego, reading should be enjoyable and spark your creativity.
