1. Before We Read: Finding Clues

   Before reading a new story or text, we do not need to understand every single word right away. We can look at the title, the pictures, and special words to understand what the text is about.

   Think about these questions:

   • What is the title of the text?
   • What pictures or drawings do you see around the text?
   • What do these clues make you think about?

   For example, if you see a title called "A Delicious Day in Rome" with a picture of a fresh salad and pasta, you can immediately think: This text is about food in Italy!

   Connecting What You Know

   You already know many English words about our world, delicious food, and fun holidays. When you look at a text, find the words you already remember!

   • Healthy and Unhealthy Food: apple, milk, salad, fish, cake, chips
   • Dishes around the World: pizza, kebab, sushi, soup
   • Countries and Cities: Türkiye, Italy, Japan, city, park
   • Holidays: festival, summer, celebration, family

   Tip: If there is a new word you do not know, do not worry! Focus on the words you already know first.

   Predicting the Story

   Predicting means making a smart guess about what you will read before you begin.

   Look at this example clue box:

   Title: Sunny Holiday in Spain
   Words on the page: paella, beach, fruit, market, family

   Now, make a guess:

   • Is the text about winter sports in the mountains? No.
   • Is the text about a family holiday, sunny weather, and traditional food in another country? Yes!

   Using clues helps your brain get ready to read easily and happily.
