A story about Reading
for your 1st Grader.
Once upon a time, in a small town lived a boy named Diego. Diego loved soccer more than anything else. He would play all day, imagining himself as a famous soccer player.
One day, while cleaning his room, Diego found a strange soccer-shaped book. It was dusty and old, but something about it intrigued him.
Diego opened the book and to his surprise, a story began to unfold. But the words were jumbled, and he couldn't understand anything.
Diego's mom saw him struggling and said, 'Diego, reading can be tough at first, but it gets easier with practice. Try reading it aloud.'
Diego started reading aloud. Slowly, the words started making sense. The story was about a brave knight saving a kingdom. Diego was thrilled!
Every time Diego opened the book, a new story unfolded. There were tales of pirates, princesses, and even soccer-playing aliens!
Reading was still a bit difficult for Diego. Some words were long and hard. But he didn't give up. He kept practicing.
One day, Diego found a story about a soccer match between animals. He was so excited that he read it to his friends at school. They loved it!
